UBVR cIc light curves were obtained for the W UMa-type system BC Gru. Five times of minima were determined and ephemeris was derived. An optimization procedure aimed at solving binary light curves is presented. An application to BC Gru data illustrates the operation of the method. The present analysis indicates that BC Gru is a contact binary with the mass ratio of 1.77 +/- 0.49 and an inclination of 66.9 +/- 2.8.
