Reinforced Instruction for Student Excellence (RISE):
RISE is Bladen Community College’s procedure that considers unweighted high school grade point average (GPA) to determine placement - for all students within 10 years of graduation from a United States public high school, private high school, or home school that operates in compliance with State or local law. DMA and DRE courses are replaced by MAT 003: Transition Math and ENG 002: Transition English.
You can qualify to take your first English and math courses in a variety of ways:
- Determine what English and math courses are required in your program of study.
- If you have not taken any DRE or DMA courses, your unweighted high school GPA may place you into your first math or English course, if you are within 10 years of graduation.
- If you have questions or difficulty registering for the course, contact your advisor for help. If you do not know who your advisor is, log into Self-Service.
