Registering For Classes

Continuing students (those currently enrolled at BCC) should make an appointment with their advisor to select courses and turn in their registration form to the Registrar’s Office or the South County Center. Students can always schedule a registration appointment with the Academic Advising Center, ext. 1620.

Returning students (those returning after an absence of one or more semesters) may begin to register if they have re-admitted to a degree or certificate program. Registration will be by appointment with the Academic Advising Center. Students re-admitting to a degree or certificate program will receive registration information from the Admissions Office upon acceptance.

Most new students will receive registration instructions from the Admissions Office upon acceptance. In general, new students admitted for the fall are invited to attend a half-day Orientation/Registration program. As part of the program, students meet with an advisor and register for fall courses.

It is recommended that new non-degree students make an appointment with the Academic Advising Center prior to registering. General registration instructions will also appear in the semester schedule booklet which will be distributed to homes in Berkshire County approximately 2 months prior to the beginning of the semester..

Students who register for fall courses prior to July will be billed for their fall semester tuition and fees. Students who register July through August must either pay at the time of registration, pick up a copy of their bill or they will be mailed a bill. Payment is due mid-August. After approximately mid-August, payment is required at the time of registration.

Students who register for spring courses prior to November will be billed for their spring semester tuition and fees. Students who register November through December must either pay at the time of registration, pick up a copy of their bill or they will be mailed a bill. Payment is due mid-January. After approximately mid-January, payment is required at the time of registration.

Non-Degree Students

If you wish to register for spring courses at BCC, without having to apply for admission to the college, you may do so as a non-degree student.

As a prospective non-degree student, you need to read the course description of any course that interests you. If the description lists a skills prerequisite or prerequisite course, you must satisfy the listed requirements before registering. Evidence of having satisfied the listed requirement must be presented when registering. Acceptable evidence includes a transcript from BCC or other college/university or the results of BCC’s learning skills assessment.

If you unsure whether or not you have met the prerequisite for a course, you should consult with the Academic Advising Center (ext. 1620) prior to registration.

If you need to take the Learning Skills Assessment you may schedule an appointment at either the main campus or the South County Center by calling the Assessment and Testing Center at ext. 1657.
