Guest Students

Bristol welcomes Guest Students to enroll in our courses!

Who are Bristol’s Guest Students? You are considered a Guest Student if any of the following apply to you: you plan to take course(s) to transfer back to your home institution, you need to complete prerequisite course(s) for another college or university, or you would like to enroll in course(s) for personal or professional enrichment.

Guest Registration for Summer 2026 will begin on March 11. We are currently updating our guest registration process to make it more streamlined and user-friendly. Please check back on this webpage for detailed instructions and next steps as the registration date approaches.

In the meantime, we encourage you to browse our course selection and begin planning for the upcoming term.

Free community college benefits are not available to guest students. To qualify for financial aid or Free College programs, you must be officially admitted into a financial aid-eligible certificate or degree program. If you plan to use financial aid, please complete the admissions application and enroll in an academic program prior to registering.

If you only plan to take one or two courses and do not need financial aid, you may proceed with guest registration once the registration period begins.

High quality, transferable courses at an affordable price – that’s what you can expect at Bristol.

For questions regarding the Guest Student registration process, please contact the Registrar’s Office at RegistrarsOffice@BristolCC.edu or 774.357.2240.
