Exciting news!

 

Registration for Fall 2008 will take place using Banner, our new student system!  Access to our new student system is via the new BU Brain portal (web address to be announced in a few weeks).  This new portal will be active in time for Fall 2008 early registration and will replace the BUSI Web Center at the end of Summer 2008. The BUSI Web Center will still be used for all Summer 2008 registrations.

 

BU Brain navigation instructions for students will be available and publicized by March 10, 2008. Students will be able to log in to the BU Brain at the beginning of March to check for any blocks preventing registration and confirm their registration start day and time.

Information regarding the Banner Project at Binghamton University is available at http://banner.binghamton.edu. 

April 2 – May 9

Currently enrolled graduate and degree-seeking undergraduate students can register for courses for the Fall 2008 term beginning Wednesday, April 2 through May 9. Online registration via the new BU Brain portal will be available from 8:00am to 6:00am (22 hrs. per day) seven days a week until early registration ends on May 9.

Students can access the BU Brain registration system at the computer pods (providing a class is not in session) or any other computer with online access.  To log in students need to enter their PODS ID and password.

Due to this being the first registration to take place in our new student system,
the dates and credit intervals may change with minimal notice if necessary.
