Bergen Community College is committed to fostering a safe and respectful learning environment for all students. Our student code of conduct outlines expected behavior and consequences for violations. Please review our Student Code of Conduct.

Refund Policy

The College reserves the right to change courses, days, times and instructors, and to withdraw courses without notice. To receive a full refund, a student must submit a request to withdraw via email 5 business days before a class begins. Placement test fees are not refundable. No refunds or credits will be given thereafter. All refund requests must be submitted in writing via email addressed to [email protected]. Please allow 4-6 weeks for processing. Note: Transfer credits are not eligible for a refund.

Instructor Screening Procedures and Safety Protocols

The safety and well-being of our students is our top priority. All instructors undergo a thorough screening process, including background checks and reference verifications. Our staff is also trained in emergency procedures and child safety protocols.

Health and Safety Questionnaire

In support of a healthy learning environment, all students are required to complete a health and safety questionnaire before the program start date. Download the questionnaire here and return it with your registration form: Health and Safety Questionaire.

IEP and 504 Planning Forms

If your child has an Individualized Education Program (IEP) or a 504 plan, please provide a copy with your registration form. This will help us ensure we can provide the necessary support for your child’s success in our program.

Approval Forms

Students signing up for New Work for Credit or Credit Recovery classes need to get approval from their local school district first. This form ensures your child will get credit at their high school after finishing the course. Download the Approval Form Here. A form from your child’s high school is also acceptable.

  • New Work for Credit Courses: High school students taking “New Work for Credit” courses must receive prior approval from their school administrators.
  • Credit Recovery Courses: High school students taking “Credit Recovery” courses must receive prior approval from their school administrators.

Note: If your child will not be taking courses for credit, please send us an email with their name indicating their intention not to pursue credit for the course.

Registration

Registration closes on the Thursday prior to the course start date for all programs (After School Enrichment, Summer Learning Academy, and Summer High School).

Course Cancellations and Adjustments

All classes are subject to minimum enrollment. If a course is canceled due to low enrollment, tuition fees will be refunded or credited to your account.
