Submit ACT, SAT, or ASSET scores to BRTC for placement into Freshman English OR submit proof of 30+ hours from another postsecondary institution OR submit proof of compliance with state remediation laws if you have earned fewer than 30 credit hours at an accredited college or university.

These tests will determine whether you need to take developmental math, English, or reading courses. If you have not taken one of the above tests, you may take the ACT or ASSET at BRTC. The Freshman Assessment and Placement (PDF) document identifies the scores needed on the exams to bypass developmental courses.

Provide proof of immunization, indicating month and year, for Measles, Rubella, and an MMR Booster.

These immunizations are not mandatory for students taking courses for enrichment.
