This was replaced at some time by a shield containing BCC's trademark trefoil-hexagon, surrounded with lines extending the pattern.

College Advice |
Question: Is there a minimum amount of credits needed to transfer from a community college to an university?Is there a minimum amount of credits needed to transfer from a community college to an university? I am looking to transfer from Burlington County College, to say Monmouth University, Rutgers Camden, or Drexel. I've used the njtransfer.org and all of my credits transfer to each institution. I'll be (hopefully) transferring out with about 43- credits ( maybe 6-18 more if i decide to take summer classes )12 months ago
Best Answerit would be easier if you completed your 2 year degree,but take required classes now toward your major.it is much cheaper,and less confusing. and if anything happens(especially if financing is limited)that 2 year degree is yours and no one can take it away.if going to university you have a long way to go to get a degree. |
Question: How can I find friends at Burlington County College?13 months ago
Best AnswerStart chatting up to the people around you. |
Question: Does anyone know where to sell college textbooks?I tried selling my textbooks back to Burlington County College, but because they switched editions, they would not accept my textbooks back. I have no more use for these books. Instead of just throwing them away, I want to know where I can go to sell my books. I was told some colleges are still using these particular textbooks. Aside from Amazon.com, is there a website I can sell my books on that won't rip me off? Perhaps something where I could get paid immediately? Would Borders or Barnes and Nobles accept college textbooks? I appreciate if anyone can help greatly.13 months ago
Best AnswerBorders doesn't buy textbooks and B & N will rip you off. Your best bet is either amazon.com or half.com You can also try listing the books on facebook, myspace, or around campus. If the books are indeed old editions, you may have a tough time selling them. good luck! |
