basis according to criteria and scoring as class sizes are limited.

The paramount responsibility of the college is protection of the public in the selection of applicants,
education and promotion of students through the program of study and graduation of individuals for entry
into the profession. This responsibility is fulfilled through established policies and corresponding
processes guiding decision making activities.

Each applicant is notified by U.S. mail and/or email. Conditional selection may be assigned by the
committee with stipulated conditions. Selected applicants are expected to return the registration fee and
form.

Selected applicants that do not register for an incoming class may request that their applicant file
remain active for the next selection cycle. Applicants not registering, who seek entry at a later date,
shall have no preferential status. Their files are returned to the applicant pool and reconsidered for
selection the same time as other applicants for the next incoming class. Additional selection
information may be found in the school specific content in this catalog. A new application is required
for each application cycle.

Transfer of BHCLR Credits
BHCLR courses may not transfer to some institutions. The transfer of a BHCLR course/certificate/degree
credit is determined by the receiving institution.

Transfer of Credits or Advanced Placement into BHCLR
Transfer of credits or advanced placement requests will be reviewed on an individual basis by the
Registrar and the appropriate Academic Program Director/Coordinator. In evaluation of transferability of
credits, the following will be considered: the currency, comparability, relevancy to program, calculation
of credit hours used by the institution, and grade earned for the course. In addition, the accreditation status
and academic strength of the transferring institution are considered. Credits accepted for transfer will be
recorded on the student’s transcript. Transfer credit is used in calculating the cumulative grade point
average for a student. Transfer courses must have a minimum grade of “C” or higher to be accepted. Total
credit hours for the respective program of study may vary depending on accepted transfer credits.

General Education courses at BHCLR are taught through the University of Arkansas - Pulaski Technical
College. Accordingly, the University of Arkansas - Pulaski Technical College’s course descriptions and
credit hours are the basis for comparison when evaluating general education coursework from other
institutions. The Arkansas Course Transfer System (ACTS) assists in this evaluation process by
comparing general education courses offered at the University of Arkansas - Pulaski Technical College to
courses offered at other public colleges and universities in the state of Arkansas.

The Arkansas Course Transfer System (ACTS) is designed to assist in planning the academic progress of
students from the high school level through the adult workforce. This system contains information about
the transferability of courses within Arkansas public colleges and universities. Students are guaranteed the
transfer of applicable credits and equitable treatment in the application of credits for admissions and
degree requirements. Students may complete the general education courses anywhere in the public system
as well as many courses in the degree/major that have been pre-identified for transfer. Course
transferability is not guaranteed for courses listed in ACTS as “No Comparable Course.” Transferability
of courses taken prior to January 1, 2007 is at the discretion of BHCLR. The Arkansas Course Transfer
System can be accessed at http://acts.adhe.edu/.
