Monroe Campus - Frequently Asked Questions

How much time should I spend
studying for my classes?
The general rule of thumb is
multiply the number of credits you are taking by 2 and this number is an
estimate of the number of hours you should spend preparing homework, reading
assignments, reviewing for exams, etc. (example: 12 credits X 2=24 hours of
study time outside of class.)
What do I do if I cannot make
it to class?
It is best to contact the
instructor directly whenever possible. Many instructors will give you
contact information at the beginning of the course. You may also
contact the registration desk and the staff can leave a note for the
instructor.
If I have problems in a class
what should I do?
- Contact your instructor
immediately if you are having problems. The instructor may have
suggestions to help you.
- Create your own study group.
It is helpful to review material with other students.
- Take advantage of the Writing
and Math Lab that is available to all students.
- Consider enrolling in the study
skills course "Becoming A Master Student ".
- Contact the Monroe Campus
counselor regarding a peer tutor.
What are "Program Ready
Requirements"?
A handful of BTC programs, many
of them health programs, require that students meet additional requirements
beyond general admission requirements before their name can be placed on the
wait list. See the Monroe Campus counselor for specific program ready
requirements.
What is a wait list?
A wait list is established for a
program when the number of student applications exceed the number of spots
available in a program. With many of BTC's associate degree health
program "program ready requirements" must be met before a student's name can
be placed on the wait list (see "Program Ready Requirements" outlined above)
You may also be placed on a wait list if an individual class has reached its
maximum enrollment.
Can I access my student
information online?
As a student at BTC you can
access the following information through the Banner Web for Students.
You will have access to registration information, class schedules, grade
reports, and unofficial transcripts. To access this information go the the
BTC home page www.blackhawk.edu. At
the login pull-down menu click Banner and follow the directions. (You will
need to have your BTC ID student number)
How do I request a copy of my
BTC transcripts
Students may request transcripts
of their academic records by making a written request to the registration
office. This request may be made by letter or by using a transcript
request for available at the registration desk. Each graduate receives
a complimentary transcript with his/her diploma. Additional
transcripts may be obtained for a small fee.
