Intent to Pursue a Degree or Certificate

Students pursuing associate degrees, academic certificates, or technical competency areas at BPCC must declare their intent to do so. Curricular requirements become effective at the date of the declaration of the academic major and do not date from the point of original enrollment in the College. Students are allowed to pursue only one associate degree at a time while enrolled at BPCC. Financial aid recipients must be enrolled in a degree or eligible technical diploma or certificate program at BPCC.

Changing Curriculum

Any student wishing to change from one curriculum to another (change a major), either as a student preparing to transfer or as one pursuing a BPCC credential, should fill out a "change of status" form in the Admissions/Registrar’s Office. The student should be sure to check the "degree seeking" option if he/she is pursuing an associate degree or a certificate from BPCC. The student should not check "degree seeking" if he/she is only transferring hours to another institution even though he/she may be seeking a degree there.

Please note that checking a different curriculum on the readmission form does not constitute an official change of curriculum.
