ODP - Registrar (5)
There are no limitations.
No, there are no restrictions on the number of courses you can take. However, taking more courses that you can handle is not advisable. Talk with your Academic Advisor and with the Program Director before enrolling in your courses. Find contact information for your program of interest at this link https://www.bcc.cuny.edu/online-degree-program/
Yes. BCC online programs have the same standards in terms of awarding transfer credit as we do for out in-person programs. See here for our BCC transfer credit policies.
There are not. However, students attending BCC from another time zone may encounter scheduling challenges attending synchronous courses (these are courses that meet at a specific time). For example, a course that meets online at 4 PM in New York would meet in the middle of the night in Southeast Asia.
However, some BCC programs offer many of their courses in asynchronous format—that is, there is no specific time all students must meet. In programs like these, a time difference would be of little importance.
