All the institutions comprising the Louisiana Community and Technical College System have an open admission policy as established by the Louisiana Legislature and approved by the Board of Regents. Anyone with a high school diploma from a state approved high school or a GED (General Equivalency Diploma) is eligible for admission. Prospective certificate or degree seeking students without a high school diploma or its equivalent are also eligible for admission upon demonstration of the ability to benefit in accordance with the institution's criteria.

All eligible persons are assured equal opportunity for admission without regard to ethnicity, religion, gender, national origin, age, disability, marital status, or veteran's status. Certain programs within the institution may require additional admission standards in order to achieve program or industry accreditation standards.

The following are necessary for admission to BPCC:

• A completed application
• One-time $15 nonrefundable application fee is required for the first time BPCC student. Fees are paid at the Business Office. Each new student will receive a current catalog upon payment of the application fee. The one-time application fee is not refunded to a student, even though a student may not qualify for admission to the College or otherwise schedule classes. Fees are used to defray the costs of determining admissibility and scheduling.
• Official transcripts from each institution attended after final grades have been recorded, even if the credits appear on another school's transcripts.
• Proof of immunization (2 measles, mumps, and rubella shots/MMR) and a current tetanus-diphtheria shot (TD) taken within the last 10 years, or submit a signed request for exemption, for all students born after 1956. 
  (Complete immunizations or waiver is required before a student is eligible to enroll in courses.)
• Proof of registration with the Selective Service, for males 18 years old or older who whose birthday is after December 31, 1959. (Required before a student is eligible to enroll in courses.)

Students may be admitted provisionally pending the receipt of necessary records.

LOUISIANA RESIDENT STATUS

The residence status of an applicant or student is determined by the BPCC Office of Admissions and Records. Status is determined by evidence provided in the completed application for admission along with necessary supporting documentation. An applicant or student who moves into Louisiana to attend BPCC rather than to establish a residence and enrolls at BPCC as a nonresident will continue to be so classified throughout attendance, unless it is demonstrated that the previous domicile has been abandoned and a Louisiana domicile established.
