The weekend degree programs have been designed with working adults in mind. Many circumstances can cause a person to stop out of a degree program. Belmont Technical College has many delivery formats to help with degree completion, including evening, on-line, and now weekend classes. The successful candidate is a structured, motivated, mature student. Completing the coursework will be more challenging than our typical eleven week classes, but definitely doable.

- All students initially registering for college-credit courses at Belmont Technical College must complete a three-part placement test (reading, writing skills, and elementary algebra). Placement test scores will determine placement into developmental courses of mathematics, grammar/writing, and reading. Developmental courses are designated with a course number beginning with zero and can include the following: ENG081, ENG082, ENG083, ENG093, ENG094, MAT094, MAT095, and MAT097. These developmental courses are four (4) credits each. Academic Advisors can assist students in scheduling developmental courses. Placement testing is done on a scheduled basis and scored immediately. Phone the Charles W. Kocher Student Success Center at (740)695-9500 or (800)423-1188 extension 1080 to register. Students exempt from a placement test are:
- 1. Those possessing an associate or bachelor's degree from an accredited institution.
