Your Boston College Course Application
If you are looking to apply for a course at Boston College, or if you have already submitted an application and would like to track it's progress, you can find out everything you need to know below.Â
Submitting your Application
After you have had a good look through all of the course areas that interest you at Boston College and have found the perfect course for you, the next step is to apply for a place!
Applying for a place couldn't be simpler - the four steps below explain the whole process. If you still require any help, you can contact the College's information line on 01205 313218 to speak to a member of staff who will be more than happy to help.
Step 1 - Find a Course and Submit an Application
You can apply for a course at Boston College in two different ways, either online or via a paper application. The College encourages online applications as the quickest route.
Online Applications
The first thing you need to do is find the right course for you! To do this visit our 'Find a Course' page, which details all of the courses available at Boston College.Â
Once you have found the course you would like to apply for, you can do so by clicking the 'Apply for this course' button on the individual course information page. You will then need to create an account (if you haven't already), as this will provide you with the ability to track your application throughout the admissions process.
Interested in more than one course? - If you are interested in a few different courses, you can apply for up to three courses per application. All you have to do is select the 'Add to shortlist' button on each individual course information page. These courses will then be added to your 'shortlist' - you can find your shortlist by clicking the 'star' icon at the top of the page.
If at a later date you wish to apply for an additional different course, you just have to follow the above steps, however, instead of creating an account you will just need to log in using your log in details.Â

Step 2 - Application Review
After your application has been received and processed, you will have the chance to discuss the course in more detail and to decide which level of study is right for you.
The 'Application Review' will take place with a member of staff from your chosen course area, and it's a great way of getting to know the College and staff.
Step 3 - Your Place
Following your review, you will be sent a letter stating one of the following:
- An unconditional offer - If you already have the entry qualifications and experience required.
- A conditional offer - If you are awaiting the results of exams or completion of experience.
- Offer of a guidance session to look at alternative courses.
Step 4 - Enrolment
Once you have accepted an offer at Boston College, you will receive a letter around August inviting you to enrol on a certain date and time. Your enrolment letter will also provide you with all the information you need to be able to enrol at College.
Enrolment usually takes places at the end of August, at both the Boston Campus (Rochford) and Spalding Campus. Your letter will state the location, with the overall process taking around two hours.
Once enrolment has been completed and you have your Boston College ID badge, you are an official Boston College Student!
