Externships: For Practical Experience
 Students may have the opportunity to take part in externships
to gain on-the-job experience in their career fields. “To be eligible for an externship, students must have a minimum grade point average of 3.00 and a minimum attendance record of 80% with no violations for EBC’s integrity policies. The Student Services Administrator will help arrange externships and advise students throughout the experience. Students are
assigned various types of work and projects that relate to their major fields
of study. Through externships, students gain valuable practical experience that
can help prepare them for successful futures in their chosen fields.
Scheduling & Registration
Schedules for all first-term students are prepared by the Academic Department.
Changes can be made to these schedules during orientation sessions. All other
students are required to pre-register on the announced dates each semester. EBC
department heads and the staff of the Academic Department are available to assist
students in developing their schedules.
Transcripts
An official transcript will be released only upon the written request of the
student or other persons with proven authorization to examine the record of the
student. An official transcript will bear the seal of the school and the signature
of a school official. A transcript issued directly to a student will be marked "Unofficial" and
will not be stamped nor signed. A fee is charged for an official transcript.
