Students must meet prerequisites before taking any given course.
Additionally, students must earn a minimum grade of “C” in ALL courses required in the
curriculum to earn the Associate of Applied Science in Criminal Justice.
All BPCC students are expected to be familiar with College policies, requirements,
procedures and regulations. Students must assume final responsibility for being acquainted with College
policies. In no case will a regulation be waived or an exception be granted because a student pleads ignorance
of the regulation.
Students pursuing associate degrees, academic certificates, or technical competency areas at BPCC must declare
their intent to do so. Curricular requirements become effective at the date of the declaration of the academic
major and do not date from the point of original enrollment in the College. If the student resigns or does not
enroll for one semester, the student would have to meet the requirements of a new curriculum.
The student is responsible with all the requirements of the degree program and should consult with his/her
academic advisor regularly. Each student assumes the responsibility for scheduling courses which are
applicable to degrees and for taking courses in proper sequence to ensure the orderly progression of work.
This certificate is a “stackable” certificate, allowing the student to continue studies to complete
the Associate of Applied Science in Criminal Justice Degree.
