How do I apply as a non-degree student at Bronx Community College?

I'm interested in taking a few classes at Bronx Community College without enrolling in a full degree program. How does the non-degree application process work there, and what documents will I need?

To enroll as a non-degree student at Bronx Community College (BCC), you need to follow a slightly different process as compared with degree-seeking students. First, you will have to fill out a non-degree application form that can typically be obtained from the Office of Admissions or from BCC's official website.

In the application, you will have to provide personal details such as your name, date of birth, mailing address, social security number (if you have one), email address, and phone number. Often, colleges will also require some proof of high school graduation, like a copy of your high school diploma or transcripts.

The non-degree application might also require information about your academic history, but remember, this does not imply you need to submit transcripts from previous schools. However, it's always a good idea to have them handy just in case they request it, especially if the courses you're interested in have prerequisites.

Deadlines for non-degree applications are usually flexible, but it's best to apply early to assure a seat in the classes you want. Keep in mind that non-degree students often register for classes after degree-seeking students, so class availability might be limited.

After you've submitted your application and it's been processed, you'll be given an appointment to register for classes. You might need to meet with an advisor to discuss your course options and make sure all prerequisites are met, depending on the college's policies.

Lastly, you would pay for your classes. As a non-degree student, financial aid options may be limited or even non-existent, so be prepared to pay out-of-pocket for tuition and fees.

So to recap, here's what you'd generally need:

1. Non-degree application form

2. Proof of high school graduation

3. Possibly your transcripts

4. Payment for classes

Please confirm these steps by visiting BCC's official website or by contacting their Office of Admissions. These steps can vary slightly depending on each school's specific policies. Good luck with your continuing education at BCC!
