Academic Regulations are effective from September of the current academic year (2022–2023) except where a different date is explicitly stated. If there have been changes in the Academic Regulations and degree requirements since a student readmitted after sustained leave was last enrolled, the Academic Regulations in effect at the time of the student’s readmission to full-time study will apply, unless the Associate Dean specifies otherwise in writing at the time of readmission.

Distance Education Policies and Procedures

Boston College offers a variety of distance education opportunities, designed to offer students a flexible, online alternative to traditional on-campus programs and courses.

In support of Boston College’s distance education initiatives, BC is an approved member of the National Council for State Authorization Reciprocity Agreements, or SARA.

As described by SARA, the network provides a voluntary, regional approach to state oversight of postsecondary distance education. When states join SARA, they agree to follow uniform processes for approving their eligible institutions' participation. These policies help protect students and provide benefits to both states and institutions carrying out distance education in multiple states.
