Take the ACCUPLACER test. International student applicants whose ACCUPLACER test scores indicate a need for improved English language skills will be referred to BCCC's English Language Instruction program. International students enrolled in regular BCCC programs or in English Language Instruction must maintain full-time course load (at least 12 credits).
Residency: There are two tuition rates, one for State of Maryland residents and one for out-of-state and foreign non-immigrant residents. A person is considered a State resident who has been domiciled in Maryland for not less than three consecutive months prior to enrollment. Domicile means a person's permanent place of residence where physical presence and possessions are maintained and where the person intends to remain indefinitely. A foreign national admitted to the United States as a temporary student or non-immigrant visa may not be considered a resident. It is the responsibility of the student enrolling at the College to declare the proper residency status. A student discovered to have been improperly classified as a State resident will be reclassified as an out-of-state resident and will be required to pay the College the difference in tuition. Misrepresentation of residency to evade payment of out-of-state tuition may be cause for disciplinary action.
