If you have earned college credits at another regionally accredited school prior to attending BCC, you can request to have those credits reviewed for your degree or certificate program at BCC. Here are guidelines for requesting a review of your previous coursework.

If you are a new student and have not yet registered courses, bring a copy of your transcript(s) to the Educational Planning Resource & Transfer Center. They will provide you with an unofficial review of your transfer coursework along with information on BCC degree and certificate programs, course selection, registration, online advising tools, and more. Call 425-564-2212 for an appointment or go to their front desk at the Student Services Building, 2nd floor.
