3. Students dually enrolled at BHCLR and an affiliate university for Medical Laboratory
Science, Nuclear Medicine Technology, or Radiography who are attending classes on a Student
VISA must continue to report to the affiliate university to satisfy all requirements outlined by the
US Department of Homeland Security. As outlined in the affiliation/cooperative agreements, the
affiliate university will continue to report on the student’s enrollment status since it is the
institution awarding the baccalaureate degree upon successful completion of BHCLR
coursework.

Applicant Testing
A national standardized test, American College Test (ACT) or the ATI TEAS, is required by all
programs. The Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) may be submitted in lieu of the ACT. The SAT
is evaluated utilizing an ACT/SAT (Critical Reading + Math) concordance scale available on the
ACT website. The ACT is required for allied health programs and is given on the Little Rock
campus on a scheduled basis. BHCLR is a residual ACT testing site; therefore, if the tests are
taken at BHCLR, duplicate copies are neither released to the applicant nor transferable to another
institution. For more information on specific test dates, see www.bhclr.edu or contact the
Admissions Office at 1-800-345-3046. If these tests were taken at a national testing site while in
high school or elsewhere, the applicant may arrange to have the scores provided to BHCLR.

The School of Nursing and Practical Nursing requires the ATI TEAS.

The following ACT Applicant Residual Testing guidelines are in effect:

1. Applicants must have an application on file and submit registration and payment by 3:00
pm on the Tuesday before the test date.

2. Applicants may reschedule ACT testing one time before forfeiture of testing fee.

3. The ACT testing fee is refundable if the applicant makes the request by the registration
deadline.

4. Registration for ACT testing will not be accepted without payment.
