Admissions Procedures

^top

“Matriculated” vs. “Non-Matriculated”

You may attend SUNY Broome as either a matriculated or non-matriculated student.  How do you know which is which?

  • a matriculated student is one who meets all admission requirements, has been formally accepted by the Office of Admissions, and is enrolled in an associate degree or credit certificate program.  Matriculated students are eligible to apply for financial aid.
  • a non-matriculated student is one who has not made out a formal application for matriculation or has not been accepted into a credit degree/certificate program, but has enrolled in a class or classes.  Non-matriculated students may enroll in day or evening courses, on-campus, online, or at off-campus centers.  Non-matriculated students are NOT eligible to receive financial aid.

Campus Visit/Pre-admission Counseling

All students are encouraged to visit SUNY Broome Community College.  We welcome the opportunity to meet with interested students and their families to discuss options for attendance.  Some students know they would like to attend college, but are unsure about what they would like to study.  Your are invited to meet with an admissions counselor to discuss options most suited to your needs.  Interest tests, counseling, and career information are also available via the Counseling Office.  To arrange an appointment with an admissions counselor, please call the Office of Admissions, 607 778-5001.

Admissions Requirements

Students for most majors are selected as they apply, complete the admissions process, and are found suitably qualified for a particular program.  Matriculation/admission into the following Health Science programs at SUNY Broome Community College will be based on a competitive admissions process: Dental Hygiene, Health Information Technology, Medical Assistant, Clinical Laboratory Technician, Nursing, Physical Therapist Assistant, Phlebotomy: Certificate and Radiologic Technology.  More details are listed below on the Competitive Admissions process.

The following items are required by the Admissions Office before a decision can be made on a student’s application.

  1. Completed Application for Admission.
  2. Official high school transcripts and/or all college transcripts.  Applicants must arrange to have transcripts mailed from the high school or college attended directly to the SUNY Broome Admissions Office.  A bachelors degree from another college (BA or BS) or higher is acceptable as proof of high school equivalency.
  3. If applicable, General Equivalency Diploma (GED).

Here are a few items to note concerning the application process:

  • Students who wish to matriculate (required for Federal Financial Aid Grants) full or part-time in any curriculum must apply through the Admissions Office.
  • American College Testing (ACT) or Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) score reports are not required, but if either or both are available, they should be forwarded to the Admissions Office.
  • The postmark date of an application and the date an application folder is complete are important parts of the admissions process and help the College implement its first-come, first-served equal opportunity policy.

Applicants should recognize that it is their responsibility to complete the necessary forms for admission and to see that all required transcripts and/or other information are received and recognized by the Admissions Office.  Completing the application process is the first step toward matriculation, which also includes being accepted into a curriculum and enrolling in coursework.

Acceptance into SUNY Broome Community College applies only to the particular semester designated in the acceptance letter.  Students who do not attend SUNY Broome in the semester for which they were accepted and who wish to enroll in a future semester must reapply.  Records are kept on file for one year.  The reapplication process usually involves completing another application, unless additional college coursework has been completed.

International students and SUNY Broome Study Abroad and Fast Forward and Early College Programs have separate admissions criteria.

Placement Assessment

The Admissions Office administers placement tests in reading, writing, and mathematics to entering students. www.sunybroome.edu/placement-assessment

The information gained from these tests is used along with other records to help place students in appropriate courses.  Every effort is made to place students in courses in which they can succeed.  In some cases, students will be required to enroll in non-credit developmental courses.

Early College

The Early College program is for high school student who benefit from taking college courses on the SUNY Broome campus, before graduating from high school.  This program is typically for seniors and juniors who are at least 16 years of age, and have maintained a high school course average of 80 or higher related to the collge course they seek instruction at SUNY Broome Community College.  Applicants are done on paper, as permission from the high school and parent are required, and can be printed from the Early College website www.sunybroome.edu/earlycollege.

  • Through SUNY Broome’s Fast Forward Program, high school students take SUNY Broome courses at their high school, and earn college credit while simultaneously earning high school credit.  Courses are offered by the high school, delivered at the high school site as part of the normal school day, and are taught by high school teachers in cooperation with SUNY Broome Department Chairs.  Students register in the high school classroom with their instructor.  Students generally qualify if they have earned at least an 85 in the subject area of the course(s) they wish to take.  Some Fast Forward courses have more specific requirements, which are found on the Fast Forward website.  Students pay $0 in tuition. www.sunybroome.edu/ff
  • Students lacking the necessary academic preparation for their chosen program may take preparatory courses through an Individual Studies program at SUNY Broome to strengthen their academic background and then reapply for a future semester.  Advisement is available to assist students in selecting appropriate preparatory coursework.  Students falling within this category are encouraged to strongly consider SUNY Broome’s Health Studies degree program.

Applicants Without A High School Diploma

Students who lack a high school or a general equivalency diploma (GED) may apply only for non-matriculation admission if their high school class has already graduated or they are at least 19 years of age. 

Applicants who are admitted through this method may apply to New York State for an equivalency diploma after completion of 24 hours of college credits in these subject areas:

  • Six (6) credits in English language arts including writing, speaking and reading (literature)
  • Three (3) credits in mathematics
  • Three (3) credits in natural science
  • Three (3) credits in social science
  • Three (3) credits in humanities
  • Six (6) credits or the equivalent in any other courses within the registered degree or certificate program

Applicants With An Individualized Educational Plan (IEP) Diploma

The New York State Education Department has ruled that an IEP diploma is different from a high school diploma in that it is not an indication of successful completion of high school study.  Therefore, students who hold an IEP diploma may apply for admission to SUNY Broome and will be evaluated on the same criteria used for students who lack a high school diploma or GED.

Home-Schooled Applicants

Home-schooled students will be eligible for admission to SUNY Broome if they can provide either 1) a letter from the superintendent of the school district in which the student resides, attesting to the student’s completion of a program of home instruction meeting the requirements of Section 100.10 of the Regulations of the Commissioner of Education, or 2) a passing score on the general comprehensive examination for the state high school equivalency diploma (GED) (and the diploma itself when available), or 3) students may come under the provision of those who lack a high school diploma or GED.

Health Science Competitive Admissions

Entry into the following Health Science programs at SUNY Broome Community College will be based on a competitive admissions process: Clinical Laboratory Technician, Dental Hygiene, Health Information Technology, Histological Technician Certificate, Medical Assistant, Nursing, Physical Therapist Assistant, and Radiologic Technology.

The Competitive Admissions process compares the academic strength of applicants to the academic preparation required for a specific Health Science program.

An Admissions Committee assesses each applicant’s academic background in either high school and/or college level math and science courses required for the Health Science program to which they have applied.  Offers of admission are made based on an applicant’s academic strength compared to other applicants and number of seats available in a particular program.  Meeting the minimum math and science course background does not necessarily guarantee admission.  Additional consideration will be given to Broome County residents and Veterans with honorable discharge from a military branch.

For entry into the fall semester, the Admissions Office will begin making offers of admission to the most qualified candidates in late January.  The Admissions Committee will continue to evaluate applicants through the close of applications, March 1.  Applications for admission will still be considered after March 1 should seats still be available in a particular Health Science program.

Students lacking the necessary academic preparation for their chosen program may take preparatory courses through an Individual Studies program at SUNY Broome to strengthen their academic background and then reapply for a future semester.  Advisement is available to assist students in selecting appropriate preparatory coursework.

Readmission

Matriculated students who have withdrawn from the College, have not been in attendance for one semester or longer, or have graduated from SUNY Broome, must apply for readmission to return as a matriculated student.  They do not need to resubmit high school records unless they have not attended SUNY Broome for six or more years.

Admission of Ex-Offenders

Applicants to SUNY Broome who have been convicted of a felony must participate in an admissions review process.  Additional information will be requested per State University of New York Ex-Offender Policy.  Failure to disclose a felony conviction on the Application for Admission may result in expulsion from the College.  Specific deadlines exist for applicants.  For more information, contact the Admissions Office.

This office also assists international students in finding housing off-campus. The International Student Counselor is available to counsel and assist international students with academic, career and personal concerns.

International students who are seeking transfer credit to SUNY Broome, earned from an educational institution outside the United States, are required to submit an official evaluation of their educational documents (transcripts) from an approved foreign credential evaluation agency. Information on approved agencies is available from the Admissions Office.

Through special arrangement, the College can accommodate sponsored groups of 10 or more students who do not meet the English language proficiency requirements described above.

Academic Standards for Clinical Education

^top

Academic Standards for Clinical Education in the Health Sciences programs require dismissal of students who fail to meet established academic objectives for the physical safety, psychological safety, and confidentiality of patients.

Students interested in Health Science curricula are advised to see the appropriate department chairperson upon admission to the program. Annual physical examination, including Mantoux and other testing, is required in most curricula.

OSHA standards

Although not required by either SUNY Broome Community College or the State University of New York, students enrolled in health science programs, where clinical experience or on-campus Dental Clinic is a curriculum requirement, should note that compliance with the OSHA Bloodborne Pathogen Standards is mandated.

The OSHA standards on Exposure to Bloodborne Pathogens require employees to either be vaccinated for hepatitis or to sign the appropriate form declining the vaccination. The standards do not mention students. Nonetheless, many affiliate health agencies are requiring students to comply with the regulations, and hepatitis vaccinations are strongly recommended by most Health Science curricula.

Full Opportunity Program

^top

SUNY Broome Community College has a Full Opportunity Program, which is designed to give every individual a chance to fulfill his/her own personal goals and potential.

All Broome County applicants who have graduated from high school within the prior year, or applicants who have been released from active duty with the Armed Forces of the United States within the prior year, are given priority for admission until March 1 and are guaranteed admission to the College, but not necessarily assured of space in the programs of their choice.  To be admitted to any program of study, all applicants must meet the academic requirements of that program.  Students without the required academic background for a particular curriculum will be accepted into a program or selection of courses for which they qualify. Some students may require more than two years to complete a program of study.

SUNY Broome Community College does not discriminate on the basis of race, sex, color, religion, age, national origin, disability, marital status, sexual orientation, or status as a disabled veteran or veteran of the Vietnam era in the recruitment or education of students; the recruitment and employment of faculty and staff; or the operation of any of its programs or activities.  Where relevant, state and federal laws apply.
