BSC will regularly communicate updates to students and parents regarding the College's financial situation. Please find President Coleman's most recent email here, and find answers to frequently asked questions here.
Until we receive news regarding requested funding, BSC will operate on parallel tracks — planning for next year at BSC while also creating a contingency plan. This week, faculty will begin meeting individually with students to offer information and counsel regarding the transfer process, should transfer become necessary. Please be assured that this is not an indication of news or expected outcome, but rather demonstrates our desire to support students in all the possible ways we can.

Free Lifeguard Classes
The YMCA of Greater Birmingham is working to strengthen and deepen the pool of lifeguards in Birmingham and the surrounding area by providing FREE lifeguard classes to the community. When you become a lifeguard, you are given the skills to save lives. In the last few years, the Birmingham area has had pools that have stayed closed and pools that have become swim-at-your-own-risk because of the lifeguard shortage. We at the YMCA do not want that to happen this year. If you want to become a lifeguard, please register for a class at The YMCA of Greater Birmingham website: Certifications - The YMCA of Greater Birmingham: For A Better Us (ymcabham.org).
