Classroom Locations and Directions

This page provides detailed, step-by-step directions to the classrooms most frequently used by the Institute for Learning in Retirement.
The ILR serves a population that may be unfamiliar with the layout of Bergen Community College, so these directions are written clearly, slowly, and thoroughly.

Students are encouraged to review this page before the semester begins and to bring printed directions on the first day of class if helpful.

Important Notes About Classroom Locations

  • Classroom assignments are emailed to students before classes begin.
  • Updated classroom lists are posted on the ILR News and Media webpage.
  • During the semester, printed classroom lists are available at the Continuing Education and Workforce Development front counter in TEC-115.
  • Some classroom assignments may change during the first two weeks of the semester. Please check your email regularly for updates.
  • If you arrive at your classroom and find the door locked or the room occupied, please return to TEC-115 so staff can assist you.
