New students first encounter the learner-centered environment of Baton Rouge Community College in the Testing Center. The Accuplacer test gives our academic advisors relevant information that allows the College to place students on the most appropriate academic path. The Digital Learning and Academic Support Center provides extensive services for our learners while partnering with our faculty to increase retention, transfer, and completion. Closing the loop on student success, the Center for Teaching and Learning Enhancement partners with the DLASC to provide innovative, research-based faculty development solutions for our faculty. Students looking to enhance their learning abilities can enroll in the for-credit course College Success Skills 1023. The class is offered in face-to-face versions (full semester; 12 week and 7 week) as well as online and hybrid versions.
The evolution of education continues as BRCC strives to meet students where they are by providing learning opportunities in many different models. The Innovative Learning programs provide alternative course offerings via online or evening and weekend onsite classes. In addition, students may be able to earn credit using our prior learning assessment policy or college level examination program. Additionally, students looking to earn a high school equivalency (HSE) diploma can enroll in our Work Ready U and Jobs for America's Graduates programs. Perhaps you started college in the past but life issues caused you to stop. Our Boomerang Bears program is for you.
The possibilities are endless for all learners at BRCC. The Dean's office of the Division of Innovative Learning and Academic Support is located in 120 Magnolia Building on the Mid City Campus. We encourage you to explore the individual webpages listed to the left for more information about each initiative.
