Any person may apply for admission to the College. Bucks County Community College admits as regular students only persons who have a high school diploma; have the recognized equivalent of a high school diploma; or are beyond the age of compulsory school attendance in the state in which the institution is physically located.

Admission to some majors is limited by available facilities, the number of faculty, or other factors. The College may guide the enrollment of entering students in an effort to improve their opportunity to succeed in college.

Admission for selected curricula is considered first for residents of Bucks County and then for residents of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
