Student Requirements

This course has the following requirements for students:
  • Proctored Testing is Required

Proctored Testing is Required

Your instructor requires proctored testing. Proctored testing services are available free of charge on a walk-in basis at the Newtown Campus, the Lower Bucks Campus (Bristol), and the Upper Bucks Campus (Perkasie). The specific days and hours for testing services at the Newtown and branch campuses vary by semester.

Your instructor may offer the option of allowing you to propose an alternative proctor if Bucks County Community College testing facilities are otherwise inaccessible to you. However, all proctored testing must occur within the United States during the assigned testing period. Failure to comply will result in your receiving an F for the course.

Accessing Your Course

MyLab / Mastering

Your course is using MyLab / Mastering by Pearson, which requires the purchase of an access code. This code is usually packaged with a new textbook, but may also be purchased separately from the MyLab / Mastering website if it is not included with your book.

Information about MyLab / Mastering can be found at http://pearsonmylabandmastering.com. Please check the Systems Requirements page to verify your computer compatibility.

Your instructor will provide an additional course code you will need to access your specific course.


Canvas (by Instructure)

Your course is using Canvas. If you are new to Canvas, please visit the Canvas Basics course space to become familiar with Canvas prior to the start of your course. No login is required to access this space.

You will be able to login to Canvas about two weeks prior to the start of your class. However, your course becomes available as of 1 AM on the official course start date.

Logging In

Log in to your Canvas course space at bucks.instructure.com

  • Username: Your username is the same for every system at Bucks.
  • Password: your Bucks Network password (used to log into any Bucks campus computer or to access any Bucks Library online database from off campus.)

If you do not know your Bucks Username, you can retrieve it by using the Find Your Username Form. Enter your Name, Birthday (mm/dd/yyyy) and either your 7 digit student ID number OR your social security number, then click Submit. Your Bucks username will display on the screen.

Note: Students are uploaded to Canvas several times a day. If you registered late, you won't be able to access Canvas until the next upload takes place.


Purchasing Your Books and Other Course Materials

While you may purchase your books and other course materials from the provider of your choice (using the ISBN number available through the course's academic department where applicable to ensure the correct version), both the campus bookstore and our online bookstore, guarantee that they stock the correct version for your course.

Approximately 3 weeks prior to the start of the session you can use the link below to see the list of books that have been selected by your instructor. If you have any questions about the course materials listed, please contact your instructor or the academic department directly.

Other Information about the Course

This course is set up a little differently than other E-Learning courses you may have taken. We will be using MyLabs as the main point of entrance into our course. There is a required access code that must be purchased for this web site. The code is included with the purchase of a new textbook. Textbooks can be purchased at the Bucks County Community College bookstore. If the same textbook has been used for a previous course, the previous code will work in this course. There is an e-book available in MyLabs so a paper textbook is optional. All homework and quizzes will be completed using MyLabs. The tests must be proctored. Proctored tests can be taken at the Bucks Testing Center or another alternative proctor center can be arranged. You will be given a set of dates for when the tests need to be completed. In order to register with MyLabs you must have this access code. All assignments will have a due date. If you fall more than two weeks behind in your assignments, I reserve the right to withdrawal you from the course. The Orientation will help clarify the many questions you may have. It will also be a good opportunity to learn how to navigate the MyLabs site. Please, if you have any questions prior to receiving your email about orientation, feel free to contact me at kelsey.wiley@bucks.edu. (Email is the best way to contact me). If you have trouble with the MyLabs program, you can call their support line. 1-800-677-6337. I look forward to working with each of you. Kelsey Wiley
