Transfer Students
“I want to transfer to BHCC from another college.”
Apply for admissions:
- Complete an application form and submit it to the Admissions Office along with a copy of your high school diploma, transcript if a graduation date is recorded on it, or GED.
- Original documents may be requested. If documents are not in English, an official translation must be attached.
- A $10 application fee for in-state residents or a $35 application fee for out-of-state residents is required.
- Submit official undergraduate transcripts from previous college(s) to the Admissions Office for evaluation of transfer credits. Credit may be awarded for courses completed successfully with a grade of C or higher at other regionally accredited colleges if the courses are comparable to those offered within the BHCC curriculum. Credits earned at colleges which follow a quarter semester system will be converted to semester-hour equivalents resulting in an adjustment in the number of credits transferred. The College may accept a maximum of 45 credits toward the BHCC associate degree.
- 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 programs have additional admission requirements and a selective admissions process. Visit academic departments for specific requirements.
Take the Assessment Test:
- Computerized Placement Tests (CPTs) in reading, mathematics and English are required.
- Call the Assessment Center at 617-228-2468 to schedule an appointment or drop by room B109 for walk in testing.
- If you have completed a mathematics or English course with a grade of C or higher at an accredited institution, you may be eligible for exemption from testing. Submit a copy of your transcript or grade report to the Admissions Office, B202.
Register for classes:
- Readmit students and transfer students are invited to attend group registration and advising sessions held hourly Mondays beginning at 9am, last session at 6pm; Tuesdays and Wednesdays beginning at 9am, last session ending at 1pm; Thursdays beginning at 11am, last session beginning at 6pm; and Fridays beginning at 9am, last session at 3pm. Advising staff will be available to answer individual questions and assist with course selection to get you back on track to fulfill your academic goals.
- Submit immunization documentation – if you are registering for full time or are in a health career program, you must present evidence of immunity to measles, mumps, rubella, diphtheria, tetanus and three doses of Hepatitis B vaccine. Students in health career programs must additionally present evidence of immunity to Varicella and Mantoux testing for Tuberculosis.
- Immunization documentation must be received by the Registrar’s Office/Enrollment Services Center within 30 days from the date of registration. The immunization record becomes part of the student’s permanent file and therefore cannot be copied, transferred, or returned. Download the immunization forms.
Pay tuition and fees:
- Payment due date appears at the bottom of the registration statement. You may pay by cash, check, money order, VISA, MasterCard, Discover or arrange a payment plan through the Student Payment Office. Payment plans are not available during the summer sessions and mini-semesters.
