| If you are over the age of 25, have ACT scores more than five years old or have not met the requirement for the ACT test, you will need to take the COMPASS or ACCUPLACER assessment. These are
assessments of your skills in math and writing. For more information, please contact the Distance Education Advisor, Amanda Dockter, by email at Amanda.Dockter@bsc.nodak.edu.

the requirements. After BSC receives your college transcript, we will review
the math course and let you know if it meets the requirement. |
