To help students make an informed enrolment decision before enrolling in a qualification with Brooklyn International College (BIC), students are required

During this Pre-Enrolment Consultation session, students will be provided with a comprehensive range of transparent, accurate, and complete information
relevant to their intended course of study. This information is provided prior to completing and signing the Enrolment Application to guide students in
making a formal decision that will reflect their existing skills and competencies and meet their needs.
Before signing any documents, students will be provided with a Pre-Enrolment Consultation Checklist. This checklist ensures that students have a clear
