Students must contact their local BCM campus minister or church college minister to set up an initial interview. If the BCM campus minister or church college minister recommends the student for service, the student will be invited to Discovery Day.

At Discovery Day, students will be interviewed by a team of campus ministers and student leaders, taking into account expressed preferences, availability of students, and needs of the ministry setting. It is not possible or acceptable to guarantee any student preference over another student.

Students who are offered an assignment will be notified within 24 hours of Discovery Day.

Offered assignments can be accepted or rejected.
