Full- and Part-Time Students

Students who are admitted to a BCC program of study may choose to enroll as either full- or part-time students in any given semester. BCC defines a full-time student as one who enrolls for 12 credit hours or more per semester. Most agencies and programs, including financial aid, veterans’ assistance, varsity athletic eligibility, the Social Security Commission and insurance benefits, also define a full-time course load to be at least 12 credits per semester.
