How To Apply

Before Applying

The BEOC enrollment staff understands that returning to school can be a challenge, therefore, our goal is to provide all applicants with a positive and seamless admissions process. We encourage applicants to apply as early as possible, so you can be registered for classes in a timely manner.

PLEASE READ: We have recently learned that SEL Medical Group, a business located at 395 Pearl Street, has been using our name and information to suggest an affiliation with them without our authorization. Please be aware that we have never had an affiliation with Medical Group, and do not require medical exams to qualify for our programs.
