Can I submit copies of my transcripts?
We can only accept official documents issued from the college or high school/GED testing agency. For colleges, we must have official college issued documents showing all periods of enrollment. High school transcripts must have a school seal on them and a graduation date. GED’s transcripts must show official test scores.

How can I apply for more than one program?
Students wishing to apply for two programs should pick up a packet for both programs but only submit one set of transcripts. The transcripts should be placed in one of the packets and both packets should be submitted to the Office of Admissions as complete at the same time. Students are limited to apply for no more than two programs.

How can I make sure everything was received for my selective admission packet?
Once you have submitted a complete packet you can log in to Mybin at https://mybin.bluegrass.kctcs.edu/ to check on your account. You will be able to see if we have received everything we need to process your account. It will be marked yes next to complete if you have everything we need to consider you for the program.

How do I submit a GPA recalculation form?
You can go to http://www.bluegrass.kctcs.edu/sa/admissions/gpa_recalculation_option/ and submit the form. Once the request is received, the Office of Admissions will process your request within 7 to 10 business days. You can check the outcome of your request by logging into Mybin and selecting 'Check Selective Health File'. The recalculated G.P.A. would be used in ranking applicants to health programs, but would not be used to determine a student’s BCTC or cumulative G.P.A. for any other purpose.

What if I have ACT/SAT or COMPASS scores on file with BCTC?
If you have test scores on file with BCTC then you will not need to resubmit official copies of them. You will need to print off a test score report from your student self service account and submit that with your packet. You can find your scores under: Student Self Service > Academic Records > View my test scores.
Please note: All students must submit the test scores required for each program. Not all programs will accept COMPASS scores in place of ACT/SAT. Please refer to http://www.bluegrass.kctcs.edu/Admissions/Selective_Admissions.aspx for the requirements of the program you are applying to. If we do not have scores on file for you, we will require an official copy submitted in your packet.

What if I have already submitted official transcripts to the college?
You must submit them again with your packet to the Office of Admissions. Applying to a selective admission program is a separate process than applying to the college. To be processed and considered for a selective admission program you must submit a complete packet with all documents required by the published deadline. To find out what is required to apply for a selective admission program please go to

Who do I need to talk to about my classes transferring to BCTC?
Once you have applied and been accepted to the college, transfer credit is then officially evaluated and entered into PeopleSoft. Your faculty advisor will have access to your evaluated transcripts via PeopleSoft. You may make an appointment with a faculty advisor in the program of your choice to discuss the transfer of credits.
