Welcome to a new semester in the CIS Department at BCC!

If you have any questions about what to take, please try to see Priscilla Grocer, Phoebe Blackburn or a member of the CIS faculty during the first week of school to get help. Full time faculty are: Janelle Arruda, Sil Ferreira, and Igor Kholodov. The sooner you can get your question answered the better.

If you have any problems, please see me (Priscilla Grocer) in K-112, call me at 508-678-2811 ext. 2403 or email me at pgrocer@bristol.mass.edu or see another CIS faculty member. If you are a student, you may also have my home email which will get you a faster answer, so I suggest you use that!

CIS11 is no longer a requirement. Students in Business Information Systems (Microcomputers in Business) and Information Systems Transfer can still use it as an elective. Other students should choose to take CIS11 if they do not feel comfortable with the basic concepts of computing, word processing and spreadsheets and do not have an introductory knowledge of databases.

NOTE: Advisement sheets are listed at the top of this page. Please check them to see what courses you should be taking. The list below is giving advice on what computer courses you should be taking.

Programming: During the first smester, students take CIS17 and CIT20 and CIS53. If you have not taken CIS17, you should definately take it this semester.

Information Systems Transfer: During the first semester, students should be talking to an advisor before making choices. It is recommended that you take CIS17 if it will transfer to your institutions of choice.
