PITTSFIELD, Mass. — The fall semester at Berkshire Community College (BCC) begins Tuesday, Sept. 3. 

 

Applications are being accepted now.  

 

Learning options at BCC include in-person, online and hybrid classes. Prospective students may view an admission checklist and apply, browse a course catalogue, file a financial aid form or schedule a tour by visiting www.berkshirecc.edu/fall or by walking in without an appointment to the One Stop Enrollment Center. 

 

There, applications are processed for instant acceptance to the College. Advisors are on hand to answer questions and to assist with financial aid. For more information, call (413) 499-4660 or email onestop@berkshirecc.edu. 

 

After completing an application and receiving acceptance into BCC, students take an Accuplacer exam or submit official high school transcripts to be evaluated for course placement. Students who previously attended another college or university should submit official transcripts to BCC, which may allow exemption from testing. 

 

The Commonwealth's new MassEducate program offers tuition- and fee- free community college to all Massachusetts residents, regardless of age, who have yet to earn a bachelor's degree. MassEducate expands upon MassReconnect, a similar program for students ages 25 and older. Both programs include an allowance for books and supplies for eligible students.
