Academic Level

Beginning Fall 2025, undergraduate academic level will be based on a student’s term progression in their BU Degree Program. This potentially impacts areas such as class eligibility, financial aid, housing placements, and other important processes.

The academic level will differ if it is viewed for the current term or future terms. Academic level is shown in several places in MyBU Student, depending on the user’s affiliation. The Academic Level Quick Card includes more details about where this is displayed.

Please note that projected academic level is utilized when determining student eligibility for processes in future terms, including class registration dates and housing lottery assignments.

Students should go to their school/college’s records department with questions. Advisors or other staff members can submit issues to ithelp@bu.edu.
