Visiting Students
BCC courses are a great way to get ahead to complete your degree program. If you currently attend another college or university and wish to enroll at BCC to complete a few courses and transfer the credit back to your college, we can help!
Winter Courses
2024 Winter Courses run from December 3, 2024 – January 3, 2025, and offer a great way to stay on track or get ahead. Click below to for a list of courses.
Follow the steps below to complete and submit your application.
First, complete your residency application through the North Carolina Residency Determination Service (RDS). RDS determines whether you’ll pay in-state or out-of-state tuition.
You’ll need your Social Security and Driver’s License Number, if applicable, to complete the request. If you are under the age of 24 you will need that information for a parent or guardian as well. Once completed, you will be assigned a Residency Certification Number (RCN). Save this number! You’ll need it for Step 2 when you complete your BCC admissions application.
For more information about RDS, to include the reconsideration or appeals processes for residency classification, please visit https://ncresidency.cfnc.org.
Now you’re ready to complete the admissions application! You’ll need the RDS number you just received to enter on your Application.
Select “Non-degree Seeking” student for your Program of Study under the enrollment information of the application.
Helpful Hints:
- If you need to save it and come back later, you can.
- Once submitted, allow 1-2 days for your application to be processed and to receive an email with your Student ID and login information for your BCC Self-Service portal.
- If you applied within the last year, you do not need to reapply.
