q	Submit Immunization Records Provide proof of immunization against Measles, Rubella, and a MMR Booster. (Students born before January 1, 1957 will not be required to provide proof of immunization) These immunizations are not mandatory for students taking courses for enrichment .

q	Meet with an Academic Advisor on BRTC's Campus Once you meet with a Student Services Academic Advisor (Mary Anderson, Rachel Koons, or Carolyn Collins - Paragould Campus), a faculty program advisor will be assigned to you.  You must meet with your program advisor each semester in order to remove the semester advisement holds. This will allow returning students to register through Campus Connect.    Not meeting with your assigned advisor will prevent you from registering for class.
