Hereâs what to do before classes start!
Welcome back, Terriers! School doesnât start until Wednesday, so we encourage you to take the next few days to make sure that youâre prepared for the semester ahead. Here are some things that you can do right now:
1. Look on Blackboard Learn for your course syllabi. Knowing whatâs expected of you before you walk into the classroom gives you an advantage and can help alleviate the stress that comes with the beginning of classes. While youâre on Blackboard Learn, be sure to check out the ERCâs course under the student services tab.
2. While youâre looking at your syllabi, make sure that you know what books are required. You can get them new or used at BUâs Barnes and Noble.
3. Do you have medications? Get these prescriptions together now and know how and when to fill them when youâre here.
4. Are you starting an on-campus job in the fall? Call your new employer now and make sure you know what paperwork youâll need to get paid!
5. Last but certainly not least, visit the Comm-Ave-Con today. From 1:00-4:00 pm, representatives from BU offices including the ERC, Study Abroad, Student Employment, Residence Life, and many more will be situated along the length of Commonwealth Ave. This is a great way to introduce yourself to all of the excellent resource that the BU community has to offer. Be sure to stop by the ERCâs table at Marsh Plaza to spin our âWheel of Wisdomâ and test your study smarts.
Weâre so excited to have you back, and we hope that you take the next few days to prepare yourself for the semester to come!
