For users who do not have an existing Bloomberg account, have an account registered with a non-Carleton email address or have an account that has not been used for more then 90 days you can create a new Bloomberg account through the Bloomberg Market Concepts (BMC) portal. This is a three step process:
- Step 1 Create a Bloomberg Market Concepts (BMC) Account
- Step 2 Request Access to Carleton's Bloomberg Terminals
- Step 3 Create Your Bloomberg Terminal Account
Step 1 Create a Bloomberg Market Concepts (BMC) Account
- If you do not already have a BMC account register for a BMC account at https://portal.bloombergforeducation.com/sign_up using your Carleton University email. Students must click Sign up as Learner, while faculty must click Sign up as Professor. If you already have a BMC account please skip to step 2.
- Fill in the required information to create an account. You must use your Carleton University email. Click signup:
- You do not need to complete this checkout step to get Bloomberg Terminal Access. If you are interested in the Bloomberg Market Concepts course the BMC account enables a free online BMC course (typically $149). This offer expires on December 31, 2020. A class code is not required. Click no for the class code option unless your professor has given you one.
Step 2 Request Access to Carleton's Bloomberg Terminals
Once you have an Bloomberg Market Concepts account fill out the Request Access to Remote Bloomberg Terminal form. After you submit the form a library representative will enable your terminal access. We aim to accomplish this step within one business day.
Step 3 Create Your Bloomberg Terminal Account
- You need to wait until you have received an email confirmation from the library to start this step. The BMC account is not the same as a Bloomberg Terminal account.
- Sign into the BMC Portal at https://portal.bloombergforeducation.com/login and click the Terminal Access tab and fill out the information necessary to create an account.
- Once you have created a account you will be able to Connect to Bloomberg Remotely.
