Petition to Re-Enroll in Courses
that Carry Academic Credit
Students who are academically dismissed
due to poor academic performance, based
on the College’s Satisfactory Academic
Performance and Progress Policy, will need
to sit out for an entire academic year.
Toward the end of the year’s time, the
student meets with an academic advisor and
completes a Petition to Re-Enroll in Courses
that Carry Academic Credit form. The form
is found at the following link:
http://www.bcc.edu/PDFFiles/Forms/Petition

The form is reviewed by the Academic
Standards Committee and the student
would appear before the Committee. As a
result of the Committee meeting with the
student, a decision will be rendered
regarding a student’s next step.
Note: During the dismissal period
students are allowed to take courses that do
not carry academic credit (i.e. developmental/remedial
courses).
Registration

online or in person to attend classes.

to attend the class and receive a grade or
credit for the course.

on the academic transcript. Once the semester
has begun and through the Drop/Add period
the student will receive a 50% refund and no
