Within a week of your program starting, you will receive instructions via email to your student email address on file with us to download a mobile app called Guidebook. This app will provide you with an overview of the program schedule, information on faculty and guest artists, and a social wall where you can post and engage with other program participants.  

Due to privacy reasons, we are unable to connect you to fellow participants prior to the start date of your program. The Guidebook App is the only means of communication Berklee is legally able to provide to participants prior to the start of your program. 

If you would like to download the app prior to receiving your email, it can be found in the App Store of any smartphone. Please search "Guidebook" in the App Store, and select the app called “Guidebook.” Once inside the app, you will see the option to "Find Guides" in the search bar. Please click into that field and type the name of your Summer Program. You should see the name of your program next to a red Berklee logo. Click the correct program, then “Download Guide” to allow the app to download the program schedule. 

If you choose to download the app prior to receiving your welcome email, please be aware that the program schedule you see may be incomplete and is subject to change. Having said this, we strongly recommend that you wait for your invitation email to be sent, as it typically makes your login process within the app easier.

PLEASE NOTE: If you are a registered student, you will need to follow the instructions in your Guidebook App Invitation Email in order to use the app to the fullest. Once you login to the app through the Guidebook App, you will be able to access the full view campus map, the message board, and the chat feature. Please do try and complete your Guidebook App login process prior to your program check-in.

If you are having difficulty accessing the app, we will have a team of staff dedicated to resolving Guidebook App issues on at each program's check-in.
