Getting Started

1. Consult the list of BMCC's partner schools. If your high school is on the list, make a note of its BMCC College Now liaison. The liaison is the person you'll need to contact to see exactly what courses and activities are open to you, deadlines for enrollment, etc.
2. If your high school is not officially partnered with BMCC College, you can contact CN staff who work at the college to inquire about your options. Campus contact information follows directly below.
