A Student Educational Plan (SEP) is a sequence of courses students will take each term through graduation in their selected degree/certificate program. Just like you, each student’s plan is unique. Academic advisors assist students with developing an SEP that provides a realistic timeline through graduation. If you have not created your SEP, or need to make updates, please schedule an appointment to meet with your academic advisor. 

You can schedule your advising appointment through MyBC. If you need assistance, visit the Academic Advising website. 

Excess Credit Hours 

Florida Statutes, Chapter 1009.286 requires colleges to encourage students, who intend to enroll in a state university, to complete their respective degree program with only credits that can be applied to their degree program of study to avoid excess hours. Effective July 1, 2009, and amended 2011, state universities shall require a student to pay an excess hour surcharge equal to out of state tuition rates for each credit hour in excess of 115 percent of the number of credit hours required to complete the baccalaureate degree program. The law also provides exceptions to this extra fee if the credit hours were earned under certain circumstances and are not calculated as hours required to earn a baccalaureate degree. Review Florida Statutes, Chapter 1009.286 for more detailed information.
