Reinforced Instruction for Student Excellence

RISE is Bladen Community College’s procedure that considers unweighted high school grade point average (GPA) to determine placement for all students graduating 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 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.
