Course WaitList
Have you ever tried to get into a class, only to find that it's already been filled up? With the Course WaitList, all you would need to do is be signed in to your account and use the schedule builder to select the "WaitList" for that class. BingBuilder will automatically check that class 48 times a day to see if there are any spots open. When there are, you will be notified immediately by email. Not only will you be notified of the opening, but we'll also tell you exactly how many spots are open. Soon we hope to implement the ability to receive text message notifications, so you can get the notice as soon as it is posted. If at any time you'd like to remove a course from your WaitList, sign in to your profile and select the
icon next to the CRN that you want to take off your list. The WaitList does not automatically reserve a seat for you when one opens up, you would have to go to BU BRAIN and register for that class manually. The email we send you contains a link to the registration site so you can get there quickly to save a seat.
Flash
If you are having problems viewing the Flash applications, upgrade your system to the latest version by visiting Adobe's Flash Player installation page. If you do not see the Flash applications correctly or you just see a vacant space, make sure Flash Player 9 or better is installed on your computer.
Verification
To ensure the security of both BingBuilder users and non-users, users must verify their accounts. This means that the email address provided at registration will be sent a confirmation email containing a link that when followed will verify the account automatically. Why is this done? This proves that the user's email address exists (so that notifications will not bounce back) and also that the addressee is the one who registered the account (to prevent mail from being delivered to the wrong recipient). Even though the email is sent immediately upon registration, there can be a delay on the Binghamton webmail server of a few minutes when it is busy. This is fine, though, because users are automatically logged into their accounts when they register. After signing out, the account must be verified to log back in. If you did not receive your verification email, enter your account information in the form below or contact us for further assistance.
New to BU
BingBuilder is determined to make student life easier even outside of the realm of course registration. Visit the New to BU: Freshmen Guide page and see useful information that goes beyond any walk-around tour of campus. If you're actually new to BU, you'll find this guide to be helpful as you learn about what there is to do both on and off campus. If you've been here a while, help a fellow student and submit content for the guide.
Bugs
BingBuilder is still being developed and so there may be a few bugs in the software that still need to be worked out. If you come across one of these errors you can either email us or fill out the feedback form. When submitting a bug, please be as descriptive as possible so that we can recreate your error and attempt to fix it.
