Visiting Students

Bergen Community College welcomes students visiting from other institutions to enroll in our Non-Degree program and register for Winter and Summer courses.
Bergen Community College does not require visiting students to provide permission letters or to show they have the proper pre-requisites.  However, it is the responsibility of the student to verify that the course(s) will transfer back to their home institution.
Students are responsible in taking course subjects for which they are academically prepared to be successful with.

Step 1: Complete Admissions Application

  • Once an application is submitted, instructions will be sent to the applicant via the email as submitted on the application.

Completed Coursework Credential and Degree Pursuit Option

Simply completing non-degree coursework does not constitute an application for a degree program, nor does it guarantee admission.
If you are interested in applying for a future term, visit our admissions page for requirements and deadlines.
If you intend to transition to a formal academic degree program of study (degree or certificate) you MUST submit a separate, formal admissions application through the Admissions Office.
If you need documentation about your completed coursework, you must order an official academic transcript; visit http://www.getmytranscript.com
