Transcript Requirements

Guest students maintaining enrollment at another college/university who want to take class(es) at BC3 toward degree requirements at their home institution will be asked to submit an unofficial transcript only for courses that has a pre-requisite to gueststudent@bc3.edu. 

Pre-requisites

Determine which courses you wish to take at BC3 and if they have a pre-requisite met at another college or university or through another form of exemption.

• If a pre-requisite(s) is met at another college or university or through another form of exemption, obtain an unofficial transcript showing the course is passed with a “C” or better or test scores.  Send the documentation and an email containing which course(s) you'd like to take to gueststudent@bc3.edu. 
• If you have not met the English/math pre-requisite(s), you may require placement testing. To determine if you do, contact the Admissions Office at 724-284-8501 or gueststudent@bc3.edu.
• If the course has no pre-requisite, you may register online through MyBC3 or at any of our campus locations.

If needed, an admissions representative will be in contact once a pre-requisite waiver is entered to confirm next steps.
