Students in the Liberal Arts degree program are subject to the Community and Technical College’s requirements for admissions, basic skills testing, and appropriate course placement. These requirements include mandated remedial courses, which are not counted toward completion of the program. Blue Ridge Community and Technical College Catalog requirements regarding academic standards, student conduct, and graduation procedures also apply.
