LMS Support (Blackboard)

Blackboard Learn is the LMS technology used to help facilitate both on-campus and off-campus classes for BU. If you should be having issues with a MET College course in Blackboard, please have a look at our Blackboard Support page.

Cloud Services at BU

In order for students, faculty and staff to perform some of their technical work, several Cloud Based Services have been made available for use. These services have been selected to help with projects relating to heavy computation, server/database creation and hosting, and even the distribution of many of Microsoft’s software packages for classroom and business use. For more information on the various platforms available, please visit our Cloud Services page.
