BCC College Catalog
The Bristol Community College Catalog is BCC's main source of information, containing details about academic programs, student services, specialized programs, scholarships, and more.

If you are a prospective student and wish to receive a copy of the BCC Catalog, contact Enrollment Services (ext. 2590) or you may also visit the BCC Catalog on the web.

Media Guide
The BCC Media Guide is a booklet published annually by College Communications and distributed to print and broadcast news outlets. Newspaper, television, and radio broadcast outlets regularly contact the College seeking knowledgeable individuals to offer opinions on current events or while developing a news story. Sometimes news organizations are looking for a quick quote or in-depth analysis. Sometimes they are looking for a guest to appear on a radio talk show. The BCC Media Guide helps our regional news organizations identify potential sources.

The guide lists self-identified experts in a variety of areas (from Adult Literacy to World Issues and Cultures). If you are interested in identifying yourself as an expert, please click here and complete the Media Guide Expert and Expertise form.

BCC course brochure
The course brochure serves as a marketing vehicle for the College's upcoming credit and noncredit courses for each semester. It is published three times each year, about two months before the start of the fall, spring, and summer semesters, and mailed to approximately 150,000 households in our service region.
