School of Business Resources

You can find several Bloomberg Terminals in the Parkes Trading Lab in the School of Business, and one on the main floor of Lavery Library. Remote access is available during COVID-19, so students can access a Bloomberg Terminal from off campus.

Remote/Off-Campus Access for Students

If you already have an account (including if you have registered at the Bloomberg lab on campus), you will be able to use the remote access portal immediately.

All other students: create a Bloomberg for Education account, and a faculty member will then need to verify that you are a current student.

Once your instructor confirms your registration as a current student, you will  be able to use the remote online portal to Bloomberg.

Please follow these instructions:
