To ensure course placement leads to students’ academic success, BPCC has developed policies and procedures for placement in college-level coursework, specifically ENGL and MATH.  If you do not have ACT scores, please visit the Placement Testing webpage to find Departmental exam information and other measures for placement.

• If you have ACT scores, a departmental exam is usually not required.  ACT scores can be submitted to the Admissions Office directly from ACT.
• If you are a transfer student, a departmental exam may not be required.  You may be advised with an unofficial transcript from another institution.  An official copy must be sent to the Admissions Office if you are using the credit as a prerequisite or to graduate.
