EnglishWho Can Apply to Brunswick Community College and How Different Students Get Started
Updated
Brunswick Community College (BCC) is open to a wide range of learners, and the first step depends on which group you fall into. According to the college's homepage, recent high school graduates are directed to "Apply Now," returning students who have been away more than a year "may need to re-apply," high school students can enroll through the Career & College Promise program, and active military, veterans, and their families can get help understanding benefits and transitioning into BCC. The sections below break down each pathway so you can identify your starting point and take the next step.
Start by identifying who you are
BCC organizes its entry guidance around the question "Who you are." The homepage lists six student categories, each with its own recommended action:
| Student type | What BCC says to do |
|---|---|
| Recent high school graduate | Apply Now |
| Military veteran / active duty | Explore programs; get help understanding benefits and transitioning |
| Returning student (away more than a year) | Re-Apply |
| Business owner | Explore programs through the Small Business Center |
| Adult learner / career change | Explore programs |
| High school student | Explore the Career & College Promise program |
If you are unsure which category fits, the "Pathways Wizard" is described as a personal academic navigator that helps map out the right path and turn confusion into a clear plan forward.
Recent high school graduates
If you have just finished high school, BCC treats you as a new student beginning your college journey. The homepage directs this group straight to the Apply Now action. From there, you would typically choose a degree, diploma, or certificate program and complete the application steps.
Returning students
If you previously attended BCC but have been away for more than a year, the college notes that you may need to re-apply. This is a distinct step from the new-student application, so returning students should look for the Re-Apply option rather than starting over as a first-time applicant.
High school students
High school students can enroll at BCC and complete college classes through the Career & College Promise program. This pathway lets you earn college credit while still in high school. The homepage directs this group to explore the program for details on eligibility and enrollment.
Military members, veterans, and families
BCC states that it welcomes active military, veterans, and their families. The college offers help with two specific things: understanding your benefits and transitioning into BCC. If you fall into this group, the recommended first step is to explore programs and then connect with the college for benefits guidance.
Adult learners and career changers
BCC explicitly welcomes adults who are beginning college for the first time, returning after a break, exploring a new career path, or building skills to grow in their current job. The homepage directs this group to Explore Programs as the starting point.
Business owners
If you own or are thinking about opening a small business, the BCC Small Business Center is the relevant resource. The homepage directs business owners to explore programs through that center.
What to do next
- Find your category in the "Who you are" list above.
- Take the matching action — Apply Now, Re-Apply, or Explore Programs.
- Use the Pathways Wizard if you are unsure which program or path fits your goal.
- Check the calendar — the homepage notes that new classes begin October 13, and fall registration is open.
For prospective students, BCC also points to a Prospective Student Portal and a range of student support resources designed to help from enrollment through graduation.
