What is the BCC Fast Forward program?
BCC Fast Forward is a program which makes it possible for you to take college-level courses, and earn college credit at your own high school.

What are the benefits? - Campus Life
Every BCC Fast Forward student has all of the privileges and responsibilities of a part-time student at BCC. A student activities fee is included in the tuition cost. That fee pays for a BCC student identifi cation card. Your BCC ID card will give you access to the libraries at Broome Community College and Binghamton University, and to BCC sporting events, as well as discounts at local stores. Taking certain courses now will also give you a head start on general course requirements when you enroll in college after high school.

What is the cost? - Tuition
BCC Fast Forward students receive a two- thirds discount on their portion of the cost of education when the courses they take are offered at their high schools. New York State pays approximately one third of the cost, your home county pays one third of the cost, and you — the student — pay one third of the cost of education in the form of tuition. You will be billed for each class you sign up for. BCC offers two semesters per year; Spring Semester begins in January/February, and Fall Semester begins in September.

How many credits can I take?
While you are in high school, you may not take more than 11 credits, in either the Fast Forward program or classes offered on the BCC campus.

Can I change my mind about Fast Forward courses?
You will have five school days from the start of any Fast Forward course at your high school to either enroll or drop that course. This time limit is strictly enforced

How do I get started?
Contact your guidance counselor or principal to find out how you can join the 800+ students around the area already getting head starts on their college educations through the BCC Fast Forward program.

Will other colleges accept the course credits I earn in Fast Forward classes at my high school?
Typically, students who have earned at least a grade of a “C” or better have successfully transferred credit to a number of schools. Although most colleges and universities do accept these credits, it is in your own best interest to contact your choice of schools to discuss any early admissions classes that you are interested in, prior to taking the course(s). To start the transfer process, request a transcript from the BCC Registrar’s office, 778-5027.
