To qualify for admission, an applicant must meet the following requirements:

1. Complete BCI’s Enrollment Agreement for admission. The agreement outlines the obligations of Blackstone and the student. The required down payment must be submitted at time of enrollment.

2. Submit information on high school completion. All students are required to have a High School Diploma or GED Equivalency Certificate to enroll in a Blackstone program. Physical or electronic evidence of this credential must be submitted to the school. Legal Nurse Consultant students must provide evidence of a Registered Nurse (RN) credential.

3. Once Blackstone has received and reviewed the agreement, the accepted applicant will receive a welcome letter with instructions on how to begin their course.

4. New students must complete a Reading Assessment as a first step in their career program. Students access this assessment through BCI’s Online Student Center. Once the assessment is satisfactorily completed (grade of 70% or above), the student can begin their program lessons. Students who receive a 69% or lower are eligible for one retest.
