Armed Services & Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB)
ASVAB
All junior students and interested senior students take the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB) at BG in the fall.
This test is used as part of the ASVAB career exploration program, a comprehensive career planning program that includes the multiple aptitude test battery, an interest inventory and various career planning tools designed to help students explore the opportunities that await them. Once scoring on the ASVAB is completed, the students will use the results in their College and Career Forum course to better understand what careers will fit with their interests and abilities.
Bishop Guilfoyle administers the option 8 version of the ASVAB, which does not release the scores on the ASVAB to the military. If your son or daughter is interested in having their scores released to the military, please notify the counseling office. For more information on the ASVAB click here.
Selective Service
All male students who are US Citizens, you are required to register with the Selective Service within thirty days of turning 18 years old. Failure to do so could result in a jail sentence of 5 years, $250,000 dollars in fines, losing financial aid in college, and not being able to be employed by the federal government. To register, visit sss.gov or your local post office.
