Can I enroll in online courses if I reside outside the State of North Carolina?
Brunswick Community College is a participant in the National Council for State Authorization Reciprocity Agreements (NC-SARA) and through this participation is authorized to offer online courses to students who reside outside of North Carolina, including Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. If you are an out-of-state student who intends to complete a course while residing outside of North Carolina, contact Distance Learning, brunsdl@brunswickcc.edu, to ensure that the appropriate state authorization is in place for your state. BCC is not authorized to offer Distance Learning courses in California, American Samoa, Guam, and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands.

Additional Costs and Requirements Associated with Online Courses
If you are taking an online course, please read the following information concerning additional fees and requirements students may encounter.
Distance Learning/Identification Fee: BCC does not charge a separate distance learning/identification fee to students.
Test Proctor Costs – BCC students taking BCC courses and testing at the BCC campus: BCC does not charge its students a fee for proctoring tests associated with BCC courses.
Test Proctor Costs – BCC students taking BCC courses and testing at another location: If a student must take a proctored exam and wishes to test at a non-BCC site, the student is responsible for finding an acceptable testing site and obtaining approval from their instructor. Additionally, any fees charged by the remote proctoring site are the responsibility of the student and these costs vary based upon the students’ chosen proctoring sites’ practices.
Additional Supplies Required: Some assignments require students to have a microphone and/or webcam to complete. Most laptops come with these pre-installed, but if your computer does not have them pre-installed, webcams and microphones are available at most office supply stores and others that carry computers and/or computer supplies. A webcam and microphone are required for tests that require the use of Respondus Monitor. (NOTE: If you are using a webcam, check that it has an integrated microphone before purchasing one separately.)
Test Proctor Costs for non-BCC courses: Persons taking courses from other colleges may incur an exam proctoring fee. Contact the Academic Center for Excellence (ACE) for more information.
