UPCOMING EVENTS


COURSE SEARCH

Your Bristol experience started the day you applied to join the Bristol community, and we are excited to join you on your journey.

Starting a new college or coming back to the college environment can be (understandably) overwhelming. There are new spaces to navigate, lots of new folks to meet, along with many services to understand.

At Bristol, we are here to help you every step of the way! We have designed an event to help connect you with the people and resources that will support and promote your success at Bristol Community College.

Check back for next year's BristolEXP!

BristolEXP

Each year, BristolEXP happens a week before classes start in the Fall, and during the first week of classes in the Spring.  This large-scale event happens on our Fall River Campus and is complemented with welcome events across all four campuses in the subsequent weeks of the semester.
