You should speak to an academic advisor whenever you have questions or concerns about your courses, major/major option and academic or career goals. You should also speak to an advisor about your general education requirements/ CUNY Pathways requirements. To find your advisor, know what your major/major option is, then locate the department that includes your major/major option. For example, if you elect to major in Liberal Arts: Early Childhood and Childhood Education Option (A.A.), you should meet with an advisor in the Education and Reading Department. If you are not sure if you have chosen a major, check your  major/major options on your OSSES or your CUNYfirst account under major/academic plan. You can also check your unofficial transcript. Academic advisors are available in the Academic Success Center located in Sage Hall [SA] 2nd floor. You can also visit the Evening and Weekend Office.

In choosing a major, there are three main considerations: your interests, your abilities and the career path that you want to pursue. Be sure to look at all your options before making a decision. You can find about the various majors and degrees offered on our campus website under Academic Degree Programs. You can visit academic departments and speak to an academic advisor. You can also learn more about which degrees can be completed during the evening and weekend by visiting Evening and Weekend Services.

Before you can register for classes, you will need to meet with an academic advisor to go over your areas of interest and discuss your general education requirements/CUNY Pathways requirements, major/major options and requirements for majors, etc. After you meet with an advisor, you will log on to your CUNYfirst account to register for classes. Your CUNYfirst account will show your enrollment date and registration period.

There is a deadline for advisement and registration every semester. You should be aware of the early registration period as well as the dates for late registration and the deadline for adjusting class schedules. Once the advisement and registration period is over, students will not be allowed to register or make changes to their schedules. The dates for advisement and registration are updated each semester and are available online and on CUNYfirst. This information is also available in the Evening and Weekend Office.

Before you drop a course, you should speak to your instructor and your academic advisor to determine if it is the best option. You should then speak to the Financial Aid Office to determine if there will be any financial consequences for dropping the course. Keep in mind that you may not be eligible for a tuition refund if you drop a course, so it is important to be aware of the deadline. The deadline for dropping courses can be found on the academic calendar, which is available every semester.

BCC offers online courses called eLearning courses that have varying levels of traditional classroom meetings.

The room assignment for each class is located on your class schedule, usually after course name and section. If no room assignment is listed, you should contact the academic department of the course immediately.

If you do know which department your course is listed under, you can contact your academic advisor or visit the Evening and Weekend Office.

You will be notified via your BCC email when the advisement and registration period opens. It is very important that you check your BCC email regularly for any updates regarding advisement and registration. You can also view the registration dates on CUNYfirst and on the academic calendar. You should go see your academic advisor prior to the early registration period so you can discuss any questions and/or concerns that you may have. This will give you an opportunity to plan your schedule accordingly and allow you to participate during the early registration period.

You can view your class schedule by logging on to your CUNYfirst account. After you have registered for your classes, your class schedule will be available to you on CUNYfirst and you can access it at any time.
