Bunker Hill Community College

Re-Admit Students

“I used to be a student at BHCC and I want to reapply.”

 If you have been away from the College for two consecutive semesters (excluding summer sessions) due to an interruption of attendance, or if you were suspended from the College for one semester, or you have graduated from a degree or certificate program, you need to reapply to the College.

1. Re-apply to BHCC. Note: Students who were suspended must also bring a typed letter to the Admissions and Registration Desk (Room B203) stating how things will be different academically now versus when they were suspended. Suspended students must wait for a letter from the college stating that they have been accepted again before attending a START SMART Session to register for courses.
2. Complete an application form and submit it to the Admissions & Registration Desk, B203.
3. If you have been away from the College for two or more semesters you must submit a copy of your high school diploma, transcript if a graduation date is recorded on it, or GED.
4. Original documents may be requested. If documents are not in English, an official translation must be attached.
5. If you attended another college while away from BHCC, submit official copies of your transcripts to the Admissions & Registration Desk, B203 for evaluation of transfer credit.
6. If you are claiming entitlement to in-state tuition, submit an Application for Massachusetts In-State Tuition Rates form with appropriate documentation.

Please note: Health and EPUT programs have additional admission requirements and a selective admissions process. Visit academic departments for specific requirements.
