ADMISSION
Birmingham-Southern College Catalog 2016-2017
211
A student who is accepted for dual enrollment may take only one course per term. A one-
unit course equals 4 semester hours or 6 quarter hours. A dual enrollee must meet all the
course requirements expected of regular college students. Students will receive regular
college credit on their permanent record for successfully completed courses. These
credits may not be substituted for high school courses, however.
Dual enrollees must submit the transient student application no later than two weeks
before the opening of a term.
Medical Certificates
All first-year, transfer, transient, and special students must file medical certificates with
the Office of Health Services prior to their enrollment. The medical examination and
record of required immunizations must be completed by a physician. Proof of health
insurance is also required of all students.
Readmission
A student who withdraws or fails to register during any regular term (unless he or she has
transient approval for a study abroad or similar program) and who later wishes to resume
studies at Birmingham-Southern College must file an application for readmission to the
College. If the student has attended other institutions in the meantime, an official
transcript from
each
institution must be filed. Applicants for readmission must be
approved by the Provost, Bursar, and Dean of Students. The College reserves the right to
require any readmitted student to meet graduation requirements as indicated in the
catalog in effect at the time of re-entry to the College. A $50 readmit fee is required.
A student who has been suspended from Birmingham-Southern College for academic
reasons, in addition to following the procedure indicated above, must make a written
request for readmission to the Provost. A student in this category can be readmitted only
with the authorization of the Provost and is readmitted on academic probation. A student
who has been suspended from the College for disciplinary reasons, in addition to
following the procedure above, must make a written request for readmission to the Office
of Student Development.
A student who has withdrawn from the College for medical reasons must obtain
documentation from his or her physician or counselor clearing the student to the return to
the College. This documentation must be submitted along with the application for
readmission.
