ADMISSION GUIDELINES

Any individual who has graduated from high school, earned a GED, or is eligible to take the GED may apply for admission to the College. Applicants for admission to Allied Health programs must have earned a high school diploma or GED prior to admission in those programs. All applicants are required to submit an application for admission prior to the beginning of the term of enrollment. Applicants must submit, along with the application, the required documents listed below to the College Admissions Office in order to complete the admission process.

REQUIRED DOCUMENTS FOR COMPLETION OF ADMISSION

First-Time Freshmen (Students who have never taken college courses or who took courses only while enrolled in high school)

• Official high school transcript or photocopy of GED test results
• Placement scores from an approved assessment-ACT or COMPASS (Students who have taken the ACT will be required to take the COMPASS placement exam * only if ACT scores are less than an 18 in the mathematics, English, and reading subtests.)

Transfer Students (Students who have attended a postsecondary institution regardless of whether or not any credit was earned)

• Official transcript(s) from all colleges previously attended (An official transcript is one sent from the college(s) attended directly to the Admissions Office at Bowling Green Technical College or to the student who must then mail or deliver the transcript in its original sealed envelope.)
• COMPASS placement exam * results if college level mathematics and English courses have not been completed or if ACT scores are less than an 18 in the mathematics, English, and reading subtests

Transient (Visiting) Students (Students planning to attend the College for one semester only and then return to the home institution)

• Appropriate ACT or COMPASS placement exam * results for the courses to be taken

*The COMPASS placement exam may be scheduled in person at the Assessment Center in Building B on the main campus or by calling (270) 901-1037 or at the Glasgow Campus by calling (270) 901-1200.

RE-ADMIT (RETURNING) STUDENTS

Students who have previously attended the College and are returning after an absence of one or more semesters must complete a new application for admission and meet all current admission requirements.

ADMISSION TO SELECTIVE ADMISSION PROGRAMS

Admission to the College does not guarantee admission into any Allied Health program. Admission into Allied Health programs (Radiography, Respiratory Care, Surgical Technology, Diagnostic Medical Sonography, and Practical Nursing) is based on selective admission criteria specific to each program. Students who are interested in the admission criteria for these programs should contact the program coordinators or the College Admissions Office staff. Some general education requirements must be completed prior to admission into the programs.
