Boston College
Grounded in the ideals that inspired our Jesuit founders, Boston College urges students to look inward but always to reach out to develop their minds and talents to the fullest and use them in service to others.

Services

Student services

The office of the Registrar provides support and service to students, parents, alumni, faculty, and administrators of Boston College in the areas of records, registration, reporting, transcripts, graduation, scanning services for classroom assessment (e.g., Scantrons), classroom management, and scheduling.

The office also assists external audiences such as employers seeking degree verification and alumni who request copies of their transcripts.

Housing services

The mission of the Office of Residential Life is to create a respectful, healthy, inclusive, and safe living community for our residents.  We are committed to integrating the Ignatian tradition into the formation of each student by connecting their intellectual, ethical, religious, and spiritual lives through a multiplicity of programs and services.  Our role in this formation is to promote the academic mission of the University, encourage responsible and ethical behaviors, engage residents in conversations regarding diversity, and to create safe, well-managed learning environments where students can seek the greater good.
