1001 questions (and answers) concerning BDCP

fighter-cat22 said:
Does anyone have experience with switching classes while in the BDCP? I tried searching but couldn’t find anything for this specifically.

I want to change a class next semester for a different one, but I’m unsure if I’ll have to resubmit an entire degree plan for just the one class. Would a resubmission only be warranted for bigger changes like switching schools or changing majors? This change will not affect my date of graduation. I just texted my recruiter, but figured I’d see if anyone’s done something similar to this while I wait to hear back.

What matters is if you graduate on time according to your submitted plan. It doesn't matter how, what class you take, or if you switch majors.

Not correct. Your recruiter and in turn NRC needs to be kept up to date of any deviations from what was submitted.

Not sure how to reply to everyone, but switching classes/ taking different ones than you submitted in your degree plan is no issue. I'm taking three of the five classes I had planned, and NTAG couldn't care less. To Fighter-cat, just let them know. They'll work with you if you were selected already. I had a buddy change majors because he was already struggling along and was worried about dipping below a 2.8 if he continued, so he submitted a request and was ultimately granted a new plan.

But make sure you're communicating EVERYTHING and why.

It’s more so top cover and letting your recruiter know of any changes that could become an issue, even if they aren’t so right now. A simple class change could impact your grad date for future semesters and it looks bad on your end that you made the change and didn’t inform them sooner.

That is what happened to my soon to be son in law, he changed a few classes in his last year as this one class was normally offered each term, well this time it wasn't so his graduation was pushed to the fall term. The class not being offered was known to the school but not yet removed from the schedule so if he had been a person in BDCP and needed an updated degree plan the issue would have been avoided.
 
I dont know if anyone is able to answer this, but does anyone know if I am capable of collecting Chapter 35 DEA stipends at the same time as BDCP pay?

I believe so, I’m in the same position and work with an SCO and they’ve told me that I will still be eligible to collect Ch 35 benefits
 
Hey everyone, kind of an obscure question and couldn’t find the answer anywhere else.

In the PA it says once accepted into BDCP you need to maintain a 2.8 cumulative or 2.0 in stem courses.

I just transferred from a community college to a university so my GPA for the university only counts classes I took with them. I’m in junior year Electrical Engineering and trying my best to keep grades up but one of these courses isn’t going great. My cumulative GPA including all transcripts is very high and wouldn’t be affected by a D in a class. But my new university GPA would. Does BDCP take into account cumulative GPA, or can a bad semester with a new university GPA screw me over? If you need more info to help get me an answer, please let me know. Thanks!

I read the same PA. Sounds like maintain a 2.8 cumulative and 2.0 in STEM overall.
