ADMISSION
Early Admission
Applicants for early admission must submit all credentials required of
first-year students. In addition, they must submit letters of permission from
their parents, a high school counselor, and their principal, as well as a letter
stating why they wish to be considered for early admission.
Dual Enrollment
Birmingham-Southern offers the dual enrollment plan to gifted
Birmingham area high school seniors who might wish to take college
courses for credit while still attending high school.
A student who is selected for the dual enrollment plan may take only
one course per term. One unit equals 4 semester hours or 6 quarter hours.
A dual enrollee is expected to meet all the requirements in courses that are
required of regular college students. The student will receive regular college
credit on the permanent record for all courses completed successfully. These
credits may not be substituted for high school courses, however.
Applications should be sent to the Office of Admission, Birmingham-
Southern College, Birmingham, Alabama 35254. They should be submitted
as early as possible and not later than two weeks before the opening of a
term.
Information concerning requirements for dual enrollment may also be
obtained from the Office of Admission.
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 with the
Office of Admission. If the student has attended any other institutions in
the meantime, an official transcript from
each
institution also must be filed.
Readmission is determined in the same manner as for a regular transfer
applicant. Applicants for readmission must be approved by the Provost
and the Vice President for Student Development. 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 or other 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.
