FAQs

Why can’t I log in?

Make sure that you are entering your full Bentley University email address when logging in. Other potential causes may be:

  • You are no longer affiliated with Bentley University. Our agreement with Bloomberg.com only covers current Bentley students, faculty, and staff using a valid, active Bentley email address.
  • A bad cookie may have been saved in your regular browser from a previous session. Try logging into Bloomberg.com in another browser or use a private/incognito window. If you are able to log in there, it is a bad cookie and we recommend clearing your browser. If you are still having trouble, please report the issue to the Reference Desk.

Why am I asked to login on some occasions and not others?

Where else can I get news from Bloomberg? Is there an easier place I can search past issues?
