    Use BCCC as a Stepping-Stone to your Future

    Many students use a community college or another two-year college as a stepping-stone to a four-year college and a bachelor’s degree. If you want to take this path, here’s what you should do:
    • Make sure that the credits you earn from your classes at BCCC will count at your intended four-year college so you can start out there as a junior. This can save you time and money.
    • Sign up for a transfer program at BCCC. These programs include the same kinds of courses that you’d take in your first two years at a four-year college. They’re designed specifically to help you succeed at making the transition.

    Plan Ahead and Ask Questions

    Since each college has its own requirements, the most important thing you can do to make the transfer process run smoothly is plan ahead.
     
    Get help from these resources:
    • Your Advisor and Transfer Office
    • College websites
    • Transfer advisors at the admission offices of the four-year colleges you’re considering

    Ask these questions:

    • Does the two-year college BCCC have a special transfer relationship — often called an articulation agreement — with any four-year colleges?
    • Will the credits I earn be accepted at the four-year colleges I’m considering?
    • What grades do I need to earn in my classes to get credit at the four-year colleges?
    • What’s the minimum GPA I need to maintain to get into the four-year colleges?

    How It Works

    So what happens when you transfer? Your four-year college will look at the courses you took and the grades you earned at your two-year college and decide how much credit to give you. Each course is worth a certain number of credits, often three, and students need to earn enough credits, usually 120, to graduate.

    Here are more transfer facts:

    • If enough of your courses transfer, you’ll start at the four-year college as a junior.
    • If you don’t get credit for some of your courses, you may need to take them again at the four-year college.
    • When you graduate from the four-year college, only that college’s name will appear on your bachelor’s degree.
