Tuition, Fees, and Deposits
Tuition and student fees are
subject to yearly change. Details of the charges are published each year and
are available from the Admissions Office. The College Board of Directors
reserves the right to make changes in fees, tuition costs, as well as
cafeteria and dorm room charges at any change in semesters.
Below are brief explanations of
BBC’s tuition, fees, and deposits. Tuition and fees are charged on a per
semester basis.

Three types of
deposits are required for dormitory residents: a Room Reservation Deposit
(first time only), a Cleaning, Repair, and Replacement Deposit, and a Key
Deposit.***
*Application fees must be paid again if you fail to enroll
within two years of payment, or if you interrupt your studies at BBC for
four or more consecutive semesters.
**You are entitled to one free transcript. Official
transcripts will not be released if you are delinquent in paying your bill.
Final transcripts will be released when your bill is fully paid. Requests
for your transcript must be made by you in writing.

The other two deposits are refundable at the close of the semester if no
damage or loss of college property attributable to you has occurred. A full
refund of the room reservation deposit will be made if canceled at least
thirty (30) days before the registration date.
