Enrollment Time

Continuing students can begin to enroll for classes during their assigned enrollment time. You may see or hear this referred to as an “enrollment appointment.”

You can check your enrollment time by logging in to your ctcLink account, and then using the menu to the left, click on Enrollment and then Enrollment Dates.

We assign continuing students enrollment priority based on the total credits completed at BC.

New students enroll during the open enrollment period. Check the Academic Calendar for open enrollment dates for each quarter.

Your first step is: submit a request for Term Activation. Students returning after not taking classes for four or more quarters enroll during the open enrollment period. Check the Academic Calendar for open enrollment dates for each quarter.

Course Prerequisites

What are prerequisites?

Some courses have prerequisite requirements. This means you must complete a specific course (often with a minimum grade) or demonstrate a skill before you can enroll for a more advanced course (for example, first-year French is a prerequisite for second-year French).

How do I check to see if a course I want to take has a prerequisite?

View the course description in the Credit Class Schedule to see if the course has a prerequisite.

What if I completed the prerequisite at another college or university?

If you completed the prerequisite at another college or university, visit the Course Prerequisites website to find out how to verify completion of the prerequisite.
