How do I activate my account?

So long as you have your student ID card and your tutor has provided you with your "initial" password, simply log onto any computer on campus, change your password and your live.boston.ac.uk account will be automatically activated. There may be a small delay of approx 5 minutes whilst your new password details are sent to Microsoft.

Your login and email address is in the format studentIDNumber@student.boston.ac.uk
