Welcome new MBA students! The steps below will enable you to "get connected" to the computing environment at the
Graduate School of Management (GSM). Please be sure to follow the steps in the order listed below. Should you have
any trouble with the process, please contact us through email at
training@management.bu.edu or by calling 617-353-9858.
ACS stands for "Academic Computing System." With an ACS login, you have access to a personal BU email address, the Student Link and many other online resources. You should have received an Early Bird Access notification enabling you to set up and use your ACS login (BU email). The ACS login provides you with a BU login name (this is the portion of your BU email address that precedes the @ sign) and a Kerberos password. You will use your BU login name as your username and your Kerberos password for access to most systems at GSM and BU. Therefore, it is essential that this be the first login you setup at the School.
If you did not receive an Early Bird Access notification please contact the Graduate Programs Office at 617-353-2673.
If you are experiencing difficulty setting up or using your Early Bird account, contact the Office of Information Technology directly at 617-353-2780.
If you experience difficulty using this form, please contact the ITS department at 617-353-9858.
