To qualify for the Transfer Articulation Agreement, Bucks County Community College students must:
- sign an Intent to Transfer Form before completing 45 credits at Bucks.
- follow the course sequence sheets for one of the designated programs (see Program Agreements).
- graduate from Bucks in one of the designated programs.

Scholarships
Qualified full-time transfer students with a cumulative GPA of 2.8 and above will be awarded scholarships in amounts between $3,000 and $5,500 per year.
Program Agreements
The following associate degree programs at Bucks are designated as part of the Transfer Articulation Agreement for corresponding degree programs at HF.
NOTE: All Education programs are governed by the Pennsylvania Department of Education mandates and curriculum. Certification changes are currently in progress, so there will be changes in both Bucks and Holy Family Education programs. Students entering Holy Family after the Fall 2010 semester will do so under the new curriculums.
NOTE: Programs of study were developed based on a Fall semester entry to Holy Family University. For most programs, entry in the Spring semester will result in extending the degree completion beyond four semesters, due to the course progression requirement and availability.
