The Message For Success

As a student at Big Sandy Community and Technical College (BCTCS), you have a basic responsibility for your success: our responsibility is to assist you in meeting your educational goals. The message below will help you take responsibility for your own academic success: on the other hand, implied in the message is a commitment on our part to do whatever is feasible to help you.

If you have a clear understanding of:
  • Why you are here
  • Where you are academically (skill level)
  • What and how long it will take for you to reach your goals
  • What your responsibilities are
  • What resources BSCTC has available
  • How can you ask for help,

Your chances of success are greatly enhanced and you are more likely to reach your long-term goals. To gain a clear understanding, you must set goals and evaluate them, know what it takes to be successful, and know where to find help.
