If you have university e-mail address (O365 user account registered at Budapest Business School), enter it as a username. eg: surname.forename.number@unibge.hu.
We would like to draw your attention, that University does not accept O365 user account registered by other way( not ending with unibge.hu)(eg: surname.forename.number@yourschool.hu)!
