Bunker Hill Community College

Transfer Students

“I want to transfer to BHCC from another college.”

Apply for admissions:

• Complete an application form and submit it to the Admissions & Registration Desk, B203  along with a copy of your high school diploma, transcript if a graduation date is recorded on it, or GED.
• Original documents may be requested. If documents are not in English, an official translation must be attached.
• A $10 application fee for in-state residents or a $35 application fee for out-of-state residents is required.
• Submit official undergraduate transcripts from previous college(s) to the Admissions & Registration Desk, B203 for evaluation of transfer credits. Credit may be awarded for courses completed successfully with a grade of C or higher at other regionally accredited colleges if the courses are comparable to those offered within the BHCC curriculum. Credits earned at colleges which follow a quarter semester system will be converted to semester-hour equivalents resulting in an adjustment in the number of credits transferred. The College may accept a maximum of 45 credits toward the BHCC associate degree.
• If you are claiming entitlement to in-state tuition, submit an Application for Massachusetts In-State Tuition Rates form with appropriate documentation.

Please note: Health and EPUT programs have additional admission requirements and a selective admissions process. Visit academic departments for specific requirements.

Apply for Financial Aid Online:

• Financial assistance is available to help you finance your education. Go to www.fafsa.ed.gov and fill out the FAFSA form. When completing the FAFSA online, be sure to list Bunker Hill Community College in the “Schools Information Section.”  BHCC’s code is 011210. Once you have been accepted to the College and BHCC has received your FAFSA, you will be notified of any additional requirements.

Take the Assessment Test:

• Computerized Placement Tests (CPTs) in reading, mathematics and English are required.
• Testing is offered on a walk-in basis (no appointment necessary) in room B118 on the Charlestown campus (617-228-2468 for hours) and on the Chelsea Campus (617-228-3377 for Chelsea hours and location). 
• If you have completed a mathematics or English course with a grade of C or higher at an accredited institution, you may be eligible for exemption from testing. Submit a copy of your transcript or grade report to the Admissions Office, B202.

Register for Classes:

• Transfer students are invited to attend a START SMART Session specifically designed for transfer and readmitted students. Advising staff will be available to answer individual questions and assist with course selection to get you back on track to fulfill your academic goals. Information about registering for a START SMART Session is included in your acceptance package.
  

• Submit immunization documentation – if you are registering for full time or are in a health career program, you must present evidence of immunity to measles, mumps, rubella, diphtheria, tetanus and three doses of Hepatitis B vaccine.

• Immunization documentation must be received by the Admissions & Registration Desk, B203 within 30 days from the date of registration. The immunization record becomes part of the student’s permanent file and therefore cannot be copied, transferred, or returned. Download the immunization forms.
