Dual enrollment —the high school student (HSST) program
High school students who wish to meet some of their high school graduation requirements at BCC may be able to do so by applying for admission to the high school student (HSST) program. Preference is given to high-achieving students, primarily seniors, who have been properly prepared for appropriate college-level work and who have maintained a 3.000 GPA. Students in this category are required to take the Accuplacer assessment at BCC.
In addition to a transcript, a letter on official high school stationary or letterhead stating that the student has the permission of the high school principal or guidance counselor is also required. Interested students should contact Admissions at 413-236-1630.
Eligible students may apply for one free (waived tuition and fees) dual enrollment course through BCC’s Bridge to College program, and additional courses may be taken at the student’s expense.
