Boston College encourages students who wish to apply electronically to do so. Application materials are available at www.commonapp.org. All applicants are required to complete all portions of both the Supplemental Application for Admission (with the exception of the "optional" section) and the Common Application. Students should submit both the Supplemental Application and the $70 application fee at www.commonapp.org as soon as possible.
When you initiate your supplemental application online, you will be instructed to click on the "print preview" button in order to verify your information. Your application number will appear at the bottom of this document. You will need this application number in order to pay the fee online.
After the receipt of the online application, you will receive notification from Boston College within three business days. A message will be sent to the email address provided on your application. The message will contain confidential Boston College credentials, including your Eagle ID number and Username. You will use your credentials to check your application status at portal.bc.edu.

It is your responsibility to ensure that all credentials are sent to and received by the Office of Undergraduate Admission.
