SAT/ACT scores are valid for up to five (5) years, while Accuplacer scores remain valid for one (1) year. Once a student’s admission file is completed with all required documents, it will be reviewed, and an admission decision will be made within approximately two (2) weeks. If applicable, denied applicants may appeal to the Admissions Committee, whose decision is final.
Applicants are encouraged to apply, or update prior applications, and provide all required documentation before the term’s priority dates. An application is valid for the semester for which it is submitted. Applications submitted after the priority date(s) will be processed with lower priority.

The Application Update Form will be provided to an applicant upon request. Applicants who submitted their original application more than one year ago (calendar year) and wish to update must submit a new application and pay a $35 non-refundable fee.
The applications and records submitted to BPCU become the property of the University and will not be returned to the applicant or forwarded to another institution.
BPCU reserves the right to cancel admission prior to or following enrollment if the applicant becomes ineligible due to new information submitted to the University. The University’s admission entities determine the final decision for each applicant. If applicable, the applicant may appeal this decision under the provisions set by the University. Applicants may check their admissions status with the Office of Admissions or via the student’s Admissions Application Portal.
Any applicant no longer interested in attending BPCU, before the start of the semester, may withdraw their application by submitting an Application Withdraw Form. The form should be requested from the Office of Admissions.
