Telecourses on The College Channel

BCC telecourses consist of on-campus review sessions with BCC instructors, who teach each course utilizing pre-produced video programs, textbooks, study guides and/or lab manuals. Attendance is required at orientation (first review session) and all sessions where exams will be given; individual instructors may require additional attendance. Attendance is mandatory (required) for science lab, English, and foreign language courses.

BCC telecourses are broadcast by the college campus television station. To view our programs, you will need access to The College Channel on Comcast Cable Channel 28 which broadcasts to subscribers throughout King County. The College Channel is NOT available within Seattle city limits, nor are we carried on private cable companies which some students have for their apartment complexes. If you have questions about the availability of our cable channel in your area, call us at (425) 564-2438.

Videotapes used in the telecourses will be available for viewing and/or overnight checkout from the Library Media Center on campus. There is no charge for this service. Sets of rental tapes are available at a cost of $30/set/quarter for students registered in a telecourse; call the Distance Education Office at (425) 564-2438 for information or e-mail the Distance Education Office for a printed schedule.
