GPA Recalculation Option
For the Fall 2008 applicant year, students applying to Bluegrass Community and Technical College health technology programs may elect to have their grade point averages (G.P.A.) recalculated using only the grades and credit hours from their more recent college experience if they meet the following criteria:
- The course work for which I want to use the G.P.A. Recalculation Option is not from BCTC or KY Community and Technical College System (KCTCS). I understand this means my previous college coursework would be from another Kentucky college/university or a college outside of the state. (Examples: UK, EKU, Notre Dame, Ohio State, etc.)
- There has been a break of at least two years between my previous college work (i.e.: the work I do not wish to be counted) and my more recent BCTC or KCTCS college work. I understand this means 2 fall and 2 spring semesters.
- I have earned from BCTC or KCTCS at least 12 credit hours 100 level or above since my break in enrollment with at least a 2.0 GPA or higher. I understand this does not include MA 108 or any remedial coursework.
Once this 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. (This policy is in effect for the 2009 application year only. Policies on G.P.A. recalculation may change in the future.)
Students applying to the Dental Assisting, Practical Nursing (LPN) Leestown or Surgical Technology do not submit a GPA Recalculation Request. For any questions, please contact the Program Coordinator.
