Admission

We are excited about the prospect of your taking courses through SCOPE. Formal admission to BJU is not required to take a course by distance learning, and approval to take a distance learning course does not imply admission to BJU or to a particular degree program.

Registration Timeline

To help you register for courses, we’ve prepared a typical registration timeline for you to review. Depending on how you plan to take your course(s) your process will differ.

Register as early as 3 months prior to the start of the course. Registration should be completed within 3 days prior to the course start date.
