Admissions Policy
- Criteria
Baton Rouge Community College (BRCC)
has an open-door admissions policy. Students
who can benefit from the programs offered
are accepted without regard to race, religion,
sex, national origin, age, physical disability,
marital or veteran status. Graduates of
a state-approved high school, individuals
who have obtained the General Equivalency
Diploma (GED), or individuals who are
eighteen (18) years of age or older are
eligible for admission. High school students
who are at least 16 years of age may be
admitted through concurrent enrollment,
which allows them to register in a maximum
of two college courses simultaneously
with their high school courses. Admission
to the College does not, however, ensure
admission to a particular program of study.
In addition, all first time BRCC students
are required to attend one of the mandatory
Student Orientation sessions listed in
the semester calendar.
Persons applying for admission to BRCC
must:
- Complete and submit the application
form online or in-person
- Present a copy of a high school diploma,
a copy of a certified GED diploma, or
demonstrated an ability to benefit.
An official high school transcript must
be turned in the Office of Enrollment
Services within 30 calendar days from
the day classes begin.
- First-time students born after 1956
must provide proof of immunization against
measles, mumps, rubella, and tetanus-diphtheria.
Immunization forms are available in
the Office of Enrollment Services. If
your immunizations are not current,
see your family physician or contact
the Health Department at 225.342.1711.
- Submit a statement of compliance and
written proof of drat registration and
selective service status. Veterans of
the armed forces of the United States
must submit a copy of their discharge
papers or discharge certificates in
lieu of the statement of compliance.
- Persons not registered for the federal
draft may enroll in a college if both
of the following occur:
- The requirement for the person
to register has terminated or become
inapplicable.
- The person must prove he/she did
not knowingly and willfully fail
to register and, in turn, must register.
- All admission requirements must be
met within 30 calendar days of the official
first day of class.
The student is responsible for submitting
true, accurate, and unaltered documentation.
Failure to furnish complete and accurate
information may result in rejection of the
application, expulsion from the college,
and/or prosecution. Applications are good
for one calendar year.
