Transfer credits are accepted as identified in the Catalog. Applicants are referred to the
schools’ Transfer Credit Guide available online at http://www.bhclr.edu/student-
services/course-transfer-guide/.

Selection Committee
The school selects applicants for entry throughout the year by maintaining a continuous selection
process. Thus, the selection of applicants for entry occurs throughout the calendar year. The
Selection Committees I, II, and III review and consider each completed applicant file on an
individual basis for selection after all required application materials are received. The
committees meet regularly throughout the calendar year to select applicants for first time entry,
or reentry. Applicants preferring a particular year should have their applicant file completed as
soon as possible. Applicants are notified by a U.S. mailed letter of the decision regarding their
application for selection.

Selection Process
The Selection I Committee reviews the Traditional Track and the Traditional Track + Gen. Ed.
Prep applicant files; the Selection II Committee reviews the Accelerated Track for LPN/LPTN
and Certified Paramedics applicant files, and Selection III reviews reentry and transfer applicant
files.

The selection process includes a thorough review of the completed applicant file. Each applicant
is scored according to established criteria reflected on the Applicant Rating Form. If a qualified
applicant is not included in the selected class number, alternate status may be assigned.

Selected applicants not registering, who seek entry at a later date, have no preferential status and
are reconsidered at the same time as new applicants for the next class. Selected applicants, who
enter later than one (1) calendar year after initial selection, are required to update their applicant
file.

Admission to Accelerated Track
The school supports and participates in the Arkansas Nursing Articulation Model. The
Accelerated Track, designed for licensed practical nurses (LPN/LPTN), may enter at the
Sophomore Semester I level after selection for entry. Arkansas Certified Paramedics (ACP) may
also enter at the Sophomore Semester I level after selection for entry. Applicants for the
Accelerated Track must meet all application and entry requirements published in the Catalog.

Credit by Examination

Testing information can be found in the Applicant and Admission Information section of the
Catalog and the General Section of the Student Handbook. Selected applicants qualify for entry
