Bevill State Community College Acceptance Rate, GPA, and Admission Requirements

Bevill State partners directly with the University of Alabama at Birmingham so nursing students complete their Associate Degree in Nursing at Bevill State while simultaneously taking online BSN coursework through UAB - graduating with both credentials at once. This is a distinct application track from the standard ADN program, with its own dedicated UAB advisor; reach out early since coordinating both institutions' requirements takes real lead time.

Bevill State's nursing selection awards a 7-point bonus specifically to applicants who have not been enrolled in any nursing program the previous semester (rewarding genuine first-time applicants) and a separate 2-point "BSCC Loyalty" bonus for students who've already earned 12 or more credit hours at Bevill State before applying. A strategic applicant takes general-education core courses at Bevill State itself - rather than transferring prerequisites in from elsewhere - specifically to capture that loyalty bonus before submitting a nursing application.

Nursing admission requires an ACT score of 18 or higher with no expiration date - but scores from ACT residual testing are valid only at the college where they were taken and generally can't transfer to another institution, except under a specific waiver agreement between the Alabama Community College System (ACCS) and ACT. If you tested at a different ACCS college, confirm the waiver applies to your situation rather than assuming your score will simply carry over.

Nursing applications run July 1?September 15 for spring admission and March 1?May 1 for summer admission, and Bevill State is explicit that meeting the minimum requirements does not guarantee acceptance - the program is competitive and capped by faculty and clinical-site availability. Check with admissions that your file is complete before the deadline; incomplete files aren't given grace after the window closes.
