RISE changes due to COVID-19
Currently in place for Fall 2020

• The high school GPA will not expire after 10 years.
• Colleges may use the unweighted high school GPA from a United States high school regardless of graduation date.
• This is currently in place for fall 2020. The RISE advisory board will determine if this remains the permanent policy.

Before Testing:

1. Complete Residency Determination & the BCC Admissions Application
2. Bring your BCC Student ID # & an Official Photo ID with first and last name (i.e. driver’s license, school, military, work ID or passport)
