What is Web Login? Web Login is BU’s standard method of authenticating you to BU web sites.
Why do I need to provide my Bu login name and password?

You should never save your password in Web Login, but should know that you will only be prompted to authenticate once per browser session.
How will my networked resources work if I'm not on campus?
Most networked resources will function just as they do when you are on campus.

Why is VPN required for BU?
Since some Internet Service Providers use a rotating IP address system , use of the VPN can be required, in some instances, in order to successfully use BU applications.
