Agora Portal听is a central place to access a wide variety of UU直播 information and services. You will need your UU直播 username and password to access Agora Portal.
If you鈥檙e logged into a Portal service (starts with portal.bc.edu, services.bc.edu, or eagleone.bc.edu) and log out, you will be logged out of other Portal services. If you need specifics, please contact the UU直播 Help Center at 617-552-HELP (4357).
Yes. For security reasons, all open Portal services will log out automatically after 2 hours of inactivity.
When a service is grayed out, it is temporarily unavailable (possibly due to maintenance).
In听Agora Portal, under the "Account and Personal Info" section, click "Address/Phone/Emergency Contact" & follow the on screen instructions.
There are a couple of reasons why you may not be appearing in the UU直播 Directory Search:
- If you have not set your Privacy Preferences yet. UU直播 requires that you review and confirm the information and the privacy indicators before releasing your information. Once you have done that, your information will be released to the General Public and/or UU直播 Community based on what you specified in your Privacy Preferences.
- You have set your Privacy Preferences; however, you have opted for "Limited Disclosure." For more information about this option, see the question below.
Faculty and Staff
The UU直播 Human Resources Department requires work-related information (title, email address, work address, and work/departmental phone number) be displayed in the UU直播 Directory, which is available to members of the UU直播 Community who have signed in with their username and password. All information may be made unavailable to the general public. Employees who have extenuating circumstances, which in their opinion, warrants suppression of any of the work-related information described above, should contact Suzanne Lawler in the Human Resources Department at (617) 552-3336 or听suzanne.lawler.2@bc.edu.
Students
Limited Disclosure is an option available to UU直播 students, which allows you to conceal your identity from the rest of the UU直播 Community and from the general public outside UU直播.听 UU直播 will take exceptional measures to deny knowledge of your existence to others. This service is not without its disadvantages. Some implications of selecting this option:
- Neither your name nor details about you will show in electronic or print directories.
- UU直播 telephone operators will have no information about you or record of you at Boston College. Anyone calling the University, trying to contact you, will not be able to reach you unless you have told them your phone number.
- UU直播 administrators will not acknowledge your existence to ANYONE seeking information about you. This includes potential employers, graduate schools, loan agencies, credit card agencies, etc.
- Your email address will differ from the normal format. It will be "username@bc.edu." Mail sent to "firstname.lastname.#@bc.edu" will be rejected. Therefore, you will need to notify others of your address if you want to receive email from them.
- Some of your information will be available to select administrators and faculty, strictly for business purposes. Your instructors will be given your email address, photo, school, and class year.
To request Limited Disclosure, go to Student Services in Lyons Hall.听
Note: Suppressing every individual item of information is not the same thing as Limited Disclosure. The University will only be able to release your name to internal inquiries and will tell the inquirer that you have suppressed your information.
If your email address is blank in Agora Portal, then you do not have a Boston College email address.
If you think you should have a UU直播 email address, contact the UU直播 Help Center at 617-552-HELP (4357).
It could be that you have suppressed your email account. Please read the question below.
If you choose to suppress your email address, your address will not appear in any official UU直播 printed directories, nor will it show up in the Portal Directory Searches (public or authenticated).
Note: Your email will still be available for UU直播 business purposes.

- Next to Share With ClassMates, select "Release."
