Admission Requirements

Curriculum Students

Curriculum students are those who wish to work full or part-time toward the completion of a degree, diploma, or certificate offered by the College. To be officially admitted to a curriculum, the following items are required:

1. completed application for admission;
2. demonstrated proficiency in reading, writing and mathematics. Students may demonstrate this proficiency in one of three ways:
   
   Take the College Preparedness Test (CPT) in mathematics and/or English,
   or
   Submit Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) scores of 530/Reading, 530/Writing, and 520/Math or ACT scores of 22 or higher/Math, 22 or higher/English , 22 or higher/reading
   or
   Submit proof of successful completion of developmental or college-level English or mathematics classes.
3. Official transcripts from all colleges and universities attended if transfer credit is requested by student.

Admission to the College or a curriculum does not necessarily guarantee admission to a particular program. Additional qualifications may be required for admission to a specific program, such as Nursing or Veterinary Technology.

In addition to the general admission requirements listed earlier, specific requirements are usually prescribed for each curriculum of the College. Among the items generally considered in determining the eligibility of a student for admission to a curriculum in the College are educational and occupational experiences and the application of reasonable standards to ensure that the student possesses the potential to meet program requirements. The College offers a comprehensive program in Developmental Studies to correct academic deficiencies.

Persons entering associate degree (Associate of Arts & Sciences, Associate of Science, or Associate of Applied Science) programs shall be high school graduates or the equivalent, or have demonstrated ability to benefit.

Non-Curricular Students

Non-curricular students are those who do not currently intend to apply credits toward completion of a degree, diploma, or certificate offered by the College. A non-curricular student is, therefore, not formally admitted to the curricula of the College, but attends classes on a part-time basis under special conditions. Completion of the application for admission and proof of completion of prerequisites for some courses are the only requirements. In addition, a College Preparedness Test may be required if the student wishes to take English or mathematics courses or if:

1. the student lacks basic skills necessary for the successful completion of a course, or
2. the student completes 9 hours at BRCC, has a grade point average below 2.0, and has never been assessed with a College Preparedness Test.
