BPCC Natchitoches Campus

A student seeking admission to BPCC must submit an admission application and required admission documents prior to registering for courses. Admission applications and required documents may be found online or from the Admissions/Registrar’s Office located in Building F (Emmett E. Cope Student Services Building).

Students must also provide their Proof of Immunizations or Waiver. For additional information and forms, contact the Admissions/Registrar’s Office at 318-678-6004.

Certain programs within the institution may require additional admission standards in order to meet external regulatory agency requirements. Programs requiring high school diploma or equivalent:

- AS Nursing
- AAS Paramedic
- CTC EMT
- CTS Phlebotomy
- AAS Respiratory Therapy

Students may be admitted to the college based on the ability to benefit test; however, specific program accrediting and regulatory agencies may consider students without a Louisiana High School Equivalency or High School Diploma ineligible to apply for licensure or certification.

Admission to the clinical program component is restricted to students who have completed all qualification courses with a C or higher, minimum cumulative GPA of 2.000 (2.500 for PTA and RSTH), submit a completed program application packet by the published deadline, and meet all other specific program requirements. Additionally, BPCC must have received official copies of all transcripts from all colleges attended, prior to being considered for admission to a clinical program.

Admission to a program with a clinical program component is competitive and dependent upon availability of clinical sites, local employment statistics, and established faculty to student ratios. The Division of Nursing and Allied Health strives to administer the selection process fairly and consistently.
