Additional Program Details
Please Note: Unfortunately, the use of the Connell Recreation Center is subject to rules and regulations pertaining to use by minors, which makes it unavailable for BCE participants outside of the designated space rented by BCE. This is indisputable. The program will be renting basketball and/or tennis courts for students to use on designated dates and times. Students can also work-out by running on natural routes in/around campus (e.g. Chestnut Hill Reservoir).
The Thomas P. O’Neill, Jr. Library contains over a million volumes and nearly 17,000 serial subscriptions. BCE students are encouraged to get to know the library resources quickly.

Multimedia software and hardware are located in O’Neill 205. Computers with general productivity and research software are on the third floor behind the Reference Desk, and printers are on the first and third floors. Valid BC ID is required.
The Boston College Bookstore is the place for textbooks, bestsellers, study aids, stationary, college supplies, gifts, BC clothing and small items such as newspapers and snacks. The bookstore is located in the first floor of the McElroy Commons. BCE students will not be required to purchase textbooks for the non-credit two-week program.
With a valid BC ID card and meal plan, students will have access to a number of on-campus dining locations. BC Dining Services has at least one location open for breakfast, two for lunch, and one for dinner. Visit BC Dining Services for hours and location and other information.

Security Precautions
All courses are password protected and behind a firewall.
Campus Access
Students in Psychiatry & TikTok Generation and Applied Neuropsychology will have only virtual access to the Boston College Library; online/asynchronous students are not allowed on the physical campus this summer under any circumstances.
Participant Credentials
Students participating in the BC Two-Week Non-Credit Program will receive credentials (BC Eagle ID number and BC Username) from the BCE Program office shortly after confirmation of intent to enroll with instructions on how to activate their BC profile.
Asynchronous Online Learning: Description and Expectations
The Two-Week Non-Credit courses Applied Neuropsychology and Psychiatry & TikTok Generation are offered fully online in an asynchronous format.
Asynchronous learning is not the same as the remote learning you may have experienced during the COVID-19 pandemic. Students will not be expected to meet in a Zoom classroom every day at a specific time for a live streaming class. In an online asynchronous learning environment, the "classroom" will be the Canvas Learning Management Platform. Students will engage with the faculty, other classmates, and the materials on your own time, while meeting specific deadlines.
Asynchronous learning doesn't mean you are not expected to participate every single day!
Students in the Psychiatry & the TikTok Generation and Applied Neuropsychology will have assignments due each day (i.e., required readings, viewings, discussion board participation, etc). Detailed instructions for completion of these assignments, including relevant resources and links, will be provided daily by faculty through the Canvas Learning Platform. You will receive access to the learning platform shortly before the course begins.
Students should expect to dedicate about 2–3 hours per day to engaging with course materials and completing the tasks as assigned by the faculty. Please refer to the specific course for details.
Remember, just because you may not be expected to log in at a specific time each day you are still expected to log in daily. Students may also be required to collaborate for group work. The amount of group work will be dependent upon the specific course.
Please refer to the specific course of interest for details on optional live sessions and course expectations.
