Degree-Seeking Students:

Students interested in taking Freshman English (ENG 1003) for credit toward a degree or certificate must complete the following and submit to BRTC:

 

q	Complete and submit a BRTC Application Form If you have never attended BRTC or have not attended BRTC in the last five years, obtain an application online or by calling the admission office at (870) 248-4000, Extension(s) 4011, 4014, or 4017.  Completed applications can be submitted online, brought in to BRTC's Admission's Office, or mailed to: Black River Technical College Attn:  Admissions P.O. Box 468 Pocahontas, AR 72455 You cannot register for classes until all paperwork has been submitted and approved.
q	Submit a copy of your Current Driver's License
q	Submit official copies of your High School Records or GED Scores Have your high school submit an official copy of your high school transcript (with an official signature, school seal, and graduation date) or a copy of your GED scores to BRTC.  You may also bring your records/scores to BRTC in a sealed envelope. If you have eighteen or more college hours from an accredited institution of higher learning, it is not necessary to submit a high school transcript.
q	Submit official copies of all College Transcripts Submit an official copy of transcripts from all colleges preciously attended.    Transcripts must be brought in to BRTC in a sealed envelope or mailed directly from the transferring institution to: Black River Technical College Attn:  Registrar's Office P.O. Box 468 Pocahontas, AR 72455
q	Submit Test Scores Submit ACT, SAT, or ASSET scores to BRTC for placement into Freshman English OR submit proof of 30+ hours from another postsecondary institution OR submit proof of compliance with state remediation laws if you have earned fewer than 30 credit hours at an accredited college or university. These tests will determine whether you need to take developmental math, English, or reading courses.  If you have not taken one of the above tests, you may take the ACT or ASSET at BRTC.  The Freshman Assessment and Placement (PDF) document identifies the scores needed on the exams to bypass developmental courses.
q	Submit Immunization Records Provide proof of immunization, indicating month and year, for Measles, Rubella, and an MMR Booster. This is mandatory for any student born on or after January 1, 1957. Immunizations must be completed after the first birthday and after January 1, 1968. These immunizations are not mandatory for students taking courses for enrichment.

Non-Degree Students:

Non-degree students must meet the same course prerequisites as other students and may not enroll in math or English courses without testing.
