Big Sandy Community and Technical College (BSCTC), consistent with its mission statement [1], provides access to educational, cultural, and social opportunities for residents of the Big Sandy Region. BSCTC admissions policies [2] are consistent with KCTCS Board Policies [3], and the Rules of the Senate Section IV 1.0 [4]. A student enrolling at BSCTC for the first time must submit an application for admission. Students who are applying for readmission to the college after being out for one or more semesters must update their student records with the Office of Admissions and Records.

Students may be admitted to BSCTC as a freshman, as students with transfer credit from other institutions, as visiting students, or as non-degree students. BSCTC admits students who have graduated from high school, who have earned a high school general equivalency diploma (GED), who are eligible to pursue a GED, or who are dually enrolled in high school and the college. International students are also welcomed at BSCTC and are eligible to enroll subject to restrictions of federal immigration and homeland security [5]. The college admissions requirements are printed and maintained in paper, KCTCS Catalog, and electronic format on BSCTC website [2].

Consistent with Rules of the Senate, Section IV 3.0 [6], admission to the college does not guarantee admission to a program as BSCTC supports programs that maintain a selective admissions policy [2]. To provide quality educational experiences, admissions to these programs are based on the availability of space and resources. Academic/Career Mobility Program in Nursing [7] and Respiratory Care [8] are examples of programs having special requirements for admission.
