The new instant messaging system, which is called BCC Ask Now, enables live student help directly from the college’s website. The way it works is recruiters from the Admissions Department can offer assistance and answer multiple visitor questions all in real-time. This kind

This is an additional option for students whose schedules do not provide the flexibility to visit the campus or have a phone conversation.’” (“Prospective Students Can Now Interact with BCC Admissions Representatives Via Live Web Messaging System,” 1 Apr 2008)
