Advising Info and Appointments

Get Started with Advising and Registration

The registration process works differently for everyone depending on student status. Whether you're a current student, a new student, or a guest student, we have your process below!

  • Log in to DegreeWorks to check your degree audit and find your assigned advisor. If you have not already, we encourage you to connect with your Advisor as soon as possible. Your Advisor can also provide your PIN, which you may need to register. If you need assistance connecting with your Advisor, please contact AdvisingCenter@BristolCC.edu.
  • Register for classes now. You can make changes to your schedule if needed.
  • Complete your financial aid as soon as possible. If you need assistance, please contact Financial Aid at FinancialAid@BristolCC.edu.
  • Set up a payment plan if you’re not using financial aid or if you haven't completed your FAFSA application.

Before you can register for classes, you must complete placement testing or receive an exemption. Click HERE to learn about the Testing Center.

Once eligible to register for classes, you will receive information from Advising on how to sign up for your classes. 

You will also be invited to view the New Student Orientation online to continue your introduction to Bristol. Learn more about orientation.

If you are a student at another college or university and want to earn credits to transfer to your home institution, you are a guest student. Learn more on the Guest Students page.

Students are paired with advisors based on the academic program, the advisor's specialty and whether they are a current, new or returning student.

While drop-in advising is available for immediate advising needs, meeting with an assigned advisor each time ensures personalized guidance on your college path. 

Visit Advising for more information on how to get connected with your advisor.
