Full Time Eligibility

Any adult sixteen years of age or older holding a high school diploma or GED is eligible to participate in Buckeye Career Center Career Development programs.

Admissions Policy

Applicants are admitted the first quarter of each year.

Applicants must first go through the application process and pay the application fee and any outstanding tuition/lab fees owed BCC before they can be admitted to a Buckeye Career Center Career Development program. Students attending the school's scheduled Open House may have the $50 application fee waived.

Selection for all applicants to any program are based upon the following:
  1. Applicant must provide a valid high school diploma or GED certificate. If the document's validity is questionable, it is the student's responsibility to provide supporting documentation.
  2. Passage of the WorkKeys® tests at the appropriate level for the chosen program, any follow-up testing and any re-mediation prescribed by the adult education department.
  3. BCI & I Criminal background check if enrolling in OPOTA, Medical Assisting, or Medical Office & Billing Specialist programs.
  4. Application and application fee paid.
  5. Ability to pay tuition and lab fees.
  6. Additional individual requirements as applicable to various programs.
All applicants who have completed the above requirements by the specified deadline will be interviewed by the selection committee. Applicants will be notified of the decision concerning their acceptance into the program. Applicants who were not admitted may reapply for the next program.

Failure to provide the above will prohibit the student from admission to the program.

Withdrawal Procedure for Full-Time Students

The Student Services Coordinator must be notified when a student has decided to withdraw from their program. A student will be required to complete a withdrawal form at this time. Any agency that the student may be working with will also be notified at that time of the student's intention to withdraw. A WITHDRAWAL DOES NOT ELIMINATE A STUDENT'S DEBT TO THE SCHOOL!
