Designed for students currently or previously enrolled in an adult education program, the BHCC’s Transitions to College Program or TCP is a yearlong program funded by the Department of Education. TCP enables students to enroll in college-level courses by learning the essential skills needed to be successful students. Classes are offered at no cost to students. Textbooks and other materials needed for participation are provided. Students will take classes in the summer, spring and fall. Students may earn up to 15 credits.
Transitions to College staff connects students to the many academic and social resources the campus has to offer. These resources include the College’s Tutoring and Academic Support Center (TASC), Library & Learning Commons, the Counseling, Prevention, and Wellness Center, the Commonwealth Honors Program, and the many Student Activities and Clubs. The power of TCP is in the support students receive. Starting with the admissions process and continuing through graduation, Transitions students benefit from guidance specifically intended to help adult learners be successful in their college experience.

Why TCP?
Teaches academic excellence
TCP supports student success by regularly checking in on academic performance and ensuring students stay on track. All students take a humanities class together, creating a strong learning community where they grow together, build connections, and support one another.
Connects Students
TCP connects students with essential campus resources, from tutoring and library services to academic advising, technology support, and student clubs, ensuring every student feels supported both inside and outside the classroom.
Prepares for the Future
TCP provides a strong academic foundation to help students complete their degrees, transfer to a four-year college, or enter the workforce. The program also links students to workforce training options aligned with current labor market demands.
