Flex Start Classes

BSC has a variety of flex start class options available starting later than the typical start dates. You can even add a flex start class up until the day before the class starts. Anytime is the right time to enroll in classes at BSC! If you have not applied yet for admission to BSC, the first step is to complete the application.

Taking these accelerated classes will help you earn credits toward a BSC degree or to transfer to a four-year school. Keep in mind flex start classes fill quickly so register soon!

BSC tuition is one of the lowest in North Dakota, at $173.63/credit, plus fees and books. Financial aid and payment plan options are available each semester. Visit our Payment Plan page for enrollment dates by semester.

Energy Programs

The energy programs have numerous course start dates throughout the term; therefore, it is possible to enroll in additional classes each month.

Mode of Instruction Definitions

BSC classes are offered in four different formats:

· On Campus Face-to-face: The traditional classroom setting where the instructor and students are physically located in the same place and may incorporate the use of multiple supportive technologies as appropriate.

· Online Asynchronous: Online instruction occurring independent of time or location.

· Online Synchronous: Online instruction occurring independent of location, but at the same time (real time).

· Hybrid/Blended: A form of instruction that includes students from different locations and/or environments (face-to-face, online, IVN, etc.) for synchronous and/or asynchronous instruction. Students should be available on the days and times listed for the course, though the class may meet in the classroom in-person or online-live, while also allowing for release time to work online in lieu of a scheduled meeting.

 

Who can enroll?

Individuals who have never attended college, those who attend another college, and BSC students who wish to add a class to their fall schedule.
