Follow the application process for credit programs:
A new student (for credit) is a high school graduate or a graduate of a high school equivalency program (OR is currently completing the last semester of high school) attending BCC for the first time. Certificate programs do not require high school graduation or equivalency.
A returning student (for credit) is a student returning to BCC after not being enrolled for the previous fall or spring semester at the time of application. BCC graduates are also considered returning students and must complete a new application for admission.
A visiting student (for credit) is a student attending BCC for a specific class(es) with the purpose of transferring the course(s) to another college or university.
RESIDENCY DETERMINATION SERVICE (RDS) serves as the single authority for determining whether a student qualifies for in-state tuition. Bladen Community College does not have the ability to validate residency status for students or make any changes in residency status.
If a student does not have a residency certification number (RCN), it must be obtained prior to submitting an application for admission to Bladen Community College. Click on the “Steps to Apply” in the “Which Kind of Student are You?” section to start your BCC journey!
