Apply to the BAC

The BAC is accepting applications for Fall 2013. 

Welcome

When you apply to the BAC, you are assigned an admissions counselor who will follow up with you to guide you through the process. It is important to submit all the required items for your admissions file, but you may begin with the application form, and send in any supporting documents soon thereafter. For all on-site programs, please note:

• A portfolio is not required for admission consideration into the BAC's on-site degree programs, but the college encourages prospective students to submit portfolios when possible.
• There is no deadline to apply. Applications are reviewed for admission until the semester begins, but submitting your application early is strongly encouraged.
• Admission forms can be downloaded here.

Reactivation
Students who were previously enrolled at the BAC and wish to return after being away for more than four consecutive semesters are required to reactivate. Reactivating students fill out the Application for Admission, although the supporting documents are not required. There is a $150 reactivation fee. Reactivating students do not pay the $50 application fee. Reactivating students are required to fulfill any curricular changes that have been implemented since their original semester of matriculation. For more information about the reactivation process, please contact Rebecca Chabot-Wieferich at Rebecca.Chabot-Wieferich@the-bac.edu. 

 Guidelines for students who reactivate their BAC enrollment after four or more semesters of consecutive absence:
Consistent with BAC policies, students who leave their programs of study at the College while they are on probation will continue their probationary status and requirements upon re-enrollment. If students re-enter after a period of time greater than the 4-semester limit of absence, and their prior grades indicate poor performance, a Contract for Educational Progress will be created through a process of meetings between the student, her or his advisor and her or his Head of School or Program. Only courses in which students have earned a "C" or better will be counted toward degree completion.
If a student wishes to re-enter a BAC program after 5 or more years of absence, s/he must meet with a School or Program Head in order to determine what courses will be counted toward degree completion.
