Bellin College evaluates applicants holistically utilizing a combination of educational, personal, and health qualifications for admission. Applications for prospective students will be processed in the Admissions office. All files are reviewed on an individual basis.
Upon receipt of all application materials, the Admissions Counselor will evaluate the applicant’s file for completeness of program specific requirements (personal statement, activities resume, high school transcript, college transcripts (if applicable), credit evaluation(s), and other documents as applicable). All students will be scored on a rubric to determine admissions eligibility and scholarship award. Students with 12 or more transferable college credits will have a credit evaluation approved by the Registrar.
Student Classifications
Transfer: applicants with 12 or more college credits completed post-high school.
First Year: applicants entering directly from high school or within two years of high school graduation
Applicants who graduated from high school more than two years ago and have completed fewer than 12 college credits must complete a minimum of 12 college credits post-high school to be considered for admission. Admissions may suggest the following classwork: College Algebra, English, Speech, Chemistry, Microbiology
Students with more than one repeated course (a course taken more than one time) will be reviewed by the Director of Admissions and the Program Director of the program in which the applicant is applying to.
If information or requirements are not complete or satisfactory, it is documented on the rubric and then discussed with the applicant. Interviews are conducted via phone, Microsoft Teams, in-person or any method that is convenient for the prospective student for all medical imaging programs. A separate interview rubric is then scored. The score on the rubric indicates if a prospective student is accepted, denied, or needs further review.
If an applicant’s file needs further review, the appropriate Academic Dean and Program Director will review all the applicant’s file materials. The admission decision will be made collaboratively between the Admissions Director, Academic Dean and Program Director.
Deferrals to a different entry term are not permitted. The only exception is a change in cohort within the same academic year for nursing applicants. For instance, an applicant admitted to the Fall 3-Year BSN program may request a change to a transfer cohort without submitting a new application. All other applicants seeking a different start term are required to reapply.
To Consider School-Specific Information:
- School Profile: Understand the curriculum, teaching methods, and evaluation standards of the applicant’s school to contextualize their achievements.
- Transcript Evaluation: Examine the details of the student's academic records, even if they include non-traditional assessments like project grades or narrative evaluations.
The materials will be reviewed by admissions and the appropriate Program Director.
