Student Requirements

  • Read the important instructor supplied information located at the end of this document
  • Other special requirements may apply. Consult "Other Information about the Section" for details.
  • 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.

Dear eLearning Student,

It is important that you know ALL tests must be taken AT one of BCCC's Testing Centers on a computer. Please bring a picture id for identification purposes. If you cannot make it to campus for testing, you will have to make appropriate arrangements for a proctor BEFORE the first day of classes.

Once registered and logged into MyLab & Mastering, please begin to familiarize yourself with the website. You can find the sections of study by clicking on “START HERE”. The other buttons are somewhat self- explanatory. I look forward to working with you this semester and answering any of your questions. If your questions can not wait, feel free to contact me via e-mail. I will answer all e-mails Monday through Friday.

Sincerely, Janine Termine
