Need to Register for Classes outside of the New Student Session?

Registration: Student Services Building, First Floor, South Entrance 425.564.2222. Registering for classes is easy and conveient because it can be done online! If you don't know where to start, register for math and English classes; the basics. If you cannot get into those classes and do not know what else to take, you can look at classes that have transferrable skills to other classes. An example of this is a speech class; you will need to learn to work with groups, do basic report writing, develop research skills and present information to the class. This is a class that will help you learn how to do that, thereby supporting your learning for other classes.

Bought your books?

Picked up a free Parking Permit?

Cashier's Office : Student Services Building, First Floor 425.564.2309Pick up a free parking permit and a campus map at the Cashier's Office. You will learn where student parking is and which lots not to park in. The earlier you arrive at BCC the better your parking options are. If you are not parked in a student lot between the posted hours, you will be ticketed.
