Biddeford Regional Center of Technology Dual Enrollment Offerings Earn College Credits During High School Courses at the Biddeford Regional Center of Technology The Biddeford Regional Center of Technology (BRCOT), which serves students from BHS and several area schools, leads the State in innovative program partnerships with post-secondary institutions. Our Business Academy was recognized in the Governor’s State of State Address, and our first class of graduates were awarded hundreds of college credits, FREE OF CHARGE, by our partner Thomas Col- lege. True to its mission, the BRCOT offers other Dual and Concurrent Enrollment courses so students can be better prepared to enter certification programs, trade schools, and Associate’s and Bachelor’s degree programs. Many Courses at BRCOT have been approved by local colleges and universities as being equivalent to their own courses. The college will award credits in one of two ways: • Dual Enrollment: A student is enrolled in the sponsoring college’s course and the BRCOT course at the same time, earning both college and high school credits. The student will receive a transcript from that college upon successful completion of the course, the same one as if they had taken the course on campus. These college credits are fully transferable to most colleges and universities. • Articulation Agreements: These are agreements between the BRCOT and specific colleges and universities. When a student successfully completes a BRCOT program, the student can earn college credits at that specific college when they enroll at that college. This means the student will not have to take the college courses as they have learned that information at the BRCOT.
