2.What do I need to register for a course?
To Use Webadvisor you need a user name and password. If you do not know your user name and password, use to following steps to log in for the first time:
- 1. Go to the WebAdvisor page (go.bergen.edu), and click on "WebAdvisor for Students"
- 2. Use "What's my user ID?" to see the user ID that was assigned to you.
- 3. Use "Reset my password" to get a temporary password e-mailed to you. Note: Your password will be sent only to an e-mail address which you have supplied to the College.
If you have not done this, you must go to the Registration window (room A-129), present your Student ID card (as proof of identity), and supply your e-mail address to the staff person.
- 4. Log in, after you receive your temporary password.
KEY NOTES:
- Students will no longer be able to sign up for a WebAdvisor account, accounts are automatically generated. (24-48 hrs)
- Registration will no longer be able to see your password, or tell you what was your original password!
If your record at the college was just created, you will need to wait 24-48 hours before you can access your WebAdvisor account. (go.bergen.edu)
In order to have a WebAdvisor account generated, you must:
- 1. Have a record at the college
- 2. Be accepted at BCC as a non-degree or degree seeking student. (If your admission status is still pending you will not receive a WebAdvisor account)
- 3. Have a valid email on file.
Continuing students who login and get a message telling them that their password has expired, will need to create a new password 6-9 characters (letters with numbers).
If you constantly reset your password, your temporary password will be the last email generated response you received.
The following are needed for in-person registration:
- Proof of residency
- Official or unofficial transcripts or grade reports of courses completed at other colleges

6.How do I get a chargeback?
There are two methods of obtaining chargeback depending upon the student's residency and the college they wish to notify.
Chargebacks are only granted to students who attend a community college outside their county of residence.
Bergen county residents going to a community college out-of-county must bring in to Bergen Community College the following:
- Acceptance letter from the out-of-county community college.
- Proof of registration from the out-of-county community college.
- Results of the New Jersey College Basic skills Test (must see the student's test scores and placement courses in English and mathematics.)
- Proof of Bergen County residency (driver license.)
The Admissions and Recruitment Office of Bergen Community College prepares the documents to be given to the student for preparation to the community college the student will attend.
Out-of-county residents attending Bergen Community College are given a letter stating semester and courses enrolled to bring to their county municipality.
