What are the application requirements for Bergen Community College?

I’m interested in applying to Bergen Community College but I'm not sure about the specific application requirements. What documents or criteria do I need to prepare? Any insights would be really helpful as I start my application.

Sure, I can give you a hand with that! Here are the general steps you would need to take to apply to Bergen Community College:

1. Complete the online application: you can find the application on the school's website. It's a relatively straightforward process that will ask for your personal information, academic history, and intended course of study.

2. High School Transcripts or GED: Bergen Community College requires official high school transcripts or proof of high school completion such as a GED. If you studied at a different college previously, you'll also need to submit your college transcripts.

3. Placement Testing: Students usually have to go through placement testing for English and Math. This is to help the college understand your current skill level so they can recommend the appropriate courses for you.

4. Proof of Immunizations: You should also prepare your proof of immunizations as it's required by the New Jersey state law. You may have to submit documents proving you've had shots like measles, mumps, rubella (MMR), and Hepatitis B.

5. Attend a mandatory New Student Orientation: Once you're admitted, you'll be required to attend an orientation specifically designed for new incoming students.

6. Fill out the FAFSA: If you intend to apply for financial aid, don't forget to submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Bergen Community College's FAFSA school code is 004736.

Remember to check any program-specific requirements if you're applying to a selective program because some programs might have additional prerequisites. Also, international students might have further steps required for visa and English proficiency.

Good luck with your application!
