Clear/Verify Prerequisite Requirements

BC provides two ways to clear or verify prerequisite requirements. They allow you to upload a PDF document or to request an English or math placement test if needed.

Students listen to a presentation in the library.

  • High School Documents: unofficial transcript, Smarter Balanced Test Scores, AP/IB/Cambridge test scores
  • ALEKS (math) and ACCUPLACER test scores from other colleges
  • Unofficial college transcripts
  • SAT/PSAT/ACT
  • GED
  • TOEFL/IELTS reports
