CREX Examination

Prior Learning Credit is marked CL or LE on the Bucks County Community College transcript. This credit is not automatically accepted by transfer schools, and anyone planning to transfer should look into this matter with the transfer schools(s) concerned, before starting the Prior Learning Assessment process.

The CREX examinations are Bucks County Community College challenge examinations arranged directly through the Department that teaches the course you intend to challenge.
