(7) Reinforced Instruction for Student Excellence (RISE) Placement

RISE is Bladen Community College’s procedure that considers unweighted high school grade point average (GPA) to determine placement for English (ENG) and mathematics (MAT) courses for your program of study. RISE applies to all students graduating from a United States public high school, private high school, or home school that operates in compliance with State or local law. DMA and DRE courses have been replaced by Transition English ENG-002 and Transition Math MAT-003 courses. If you have not taken any DMA or DRE courses, your unweighted high school GPA may place you into your first mathematics or English course. The chart below outlines the courses necessary based on your high school GPA. You may make the image larger, thus viewable, by clicking on the chart.

There is no GPA for GED and HiSET diploma recipients; therefore, direct placement into transition courses or a RISE placement test will be given to determine which English and Math courses are required. To schedule the RISE placement test, visit the Testing Section. For additional information about RISE placement or the RISE placement test, contact Mr. Carlton Bryan, 910.879.5524 or email cbryan@bladencc.edu.

Contact your advisor for assistance if you have questions or difficulty registering for the appropriate course(s). If you are unaware who your advisor is, log into Self-Service.

ALL STUDENTS are required to meet with an educational advisor prior to scheduled registrations each semester. An educational advisor’s purpose is to approve educational plans for advisees according to the student’s desired program of study.  After meeting with an advisor and getting a course schedule planned for a semester, students can take advantage of self-service registration through Self-Service during scheduled registration periods.
