BASIC INFORMATION
Eligibility for BCC
If you are 18 or older or have earned a high school
diploma, you are welcome to apply for admission
and take college credit classes. High school students
may enroll at BCC; contact the High School Programs
Office, (425) 564-2477.
College Credit Classes /
Non-Credit Continuing Education
This Schedule deals primarily with college credit
classes—classes that usually require homework,
exams, etc. and that result in a grade recorded on
your official student transcript. BCC also offers a
wide variety of non-credit Continuing Education
classes. If you plan to take non-credit Continuing
Education classes only, you do not need to apply
for admission, and the policies and procedures
will be different from those listed here. Call (425)
564-2263, check www.conted.bcc.ctc.edu, or
consult the Continuing Education publication for
more information.
HOW TO ENROLL IN
CREDIT CLASSES
1. Admission
If you are new to BCC or returning after being gone
two or more quarters, you will need to apply for
admission. For an admissions application, see page
15 or go to the BCC website, www.bcc.ctc.edu/wts.
If you send in your application before the admissions
deadline (see calendar, p. 4), you will receive
a letter setting up a registration time and telling you
about assessment, advising, and other steps in becoming
a BCC student. You also can learn your registration
time via Touchtone or the BCC website.
If you do not meet the admissions deadline, you still
will be able to register for classes – see Registration
section below.
2. Assessment
BCC’s “combined assessment” process identifies
your skill level and appropriate placement in English
and math. Assessment is required before registering
for some classes and is strongly recommended
to help all students succeed. Assessment
also can help you meet the prerequisites listed for
CREDIT CLASS SCHEDULE
various classes. There is a $15 fee for assessment.
Come to the Assessment Office, 8:30 a.m. – 4:30 p.m.
Monday –Thursday, or call (425) 564-2243 to
schedule an assessment. Check the BCC website,
www.bcc.ctc.edu, for more information (click on
“How to Enroll”).
If you completed college-level math or English at
another college, you may not need assessment at
BCC. Bring your transcripts from the other institution
(and course descriptions, if that institution is
out of state) to the Assessment Office for review.
3. Academic Advising
Discussing your class schedule with an advisor can
make sure that the classes you take will help you
reach your educational goals. For example, some
classes you plan to take might not apply to your
degree program or might not transfer to the college
or university you want to attend after BCC.
If you are a new or former student who applies
before the admissions deadline, you will get an
advising appointment with your registration information.
If you are a current student, call (425) 564-2212 to
make an advising appointment as soon as you have
this Schedule information.
4. Registration by Remote Access
If you are:
• A current student or a returning student who
earned credits in the two previous quarters OR
• A new student or a returning student who
earned credits more than two quarters ago AND
who submitted an admission application by the
deadline (see calendar, p. 4) –
you will be assigned a registration access time. You
can check this time on Touchtone or the BCC
website. You will also receive registration information
including your “access time” in the mail. If
you don’t receive this information, make sure the
college has your correct address – check the
website or visit the Student Service Center. You

drop or withdraw from classes via Remote Access
