Welcome to the Student Life Office! The Student Life Office is your one-stop-shop for involvement.

What you should know about Student Life:

We are dedicated to creating fun and educational opportunities for the Bucks County Community College Student Body. Getting Involved in student activities can lead to success in many areas of life both during and after one's term as a student.
 
Getting Involved brings the obvious benefits of peer contact, productivity, and meaningful leisure time. But in addition to that, students participating in activities, clubs, or organizations also gain the opportunity for practical application of their classroom skills to a working project and the experience that can round out their résumés.
 
 Getting Involved in activities, clubs, or organizations is of proven interest to employers. The personal contacts one makes when active in student life programs may serve as the foundation for lifetime friendships and networking sources.
 
The staff of the Student Life Office assists students in supplementing academic experiences with experience in service, social, and recreational pursuits. The Student Life Office not only helps students in programming extracurricular activities, those viewed primarily as active, fun, or social, but also helps in programming co-curricular activities, those which are related to academic pursuits at the College and which help improve skills in communication, organization, and leadership and demonstrate acceptance of responsibility.

Here are links to some of the Student Life Office responsibilities:

New Student Orientation Programs - New Student Orienation is designed to get all new students familiar with the services and programs,  BCCC policies and procedures, and to answer any questions they may have. Student Orientation leaders are hired each year to help run the programs.  Contact Student Life if you are interested in becoming an Orientation Leader.

Clubs and Organizations  - Also known as C&O's, we have over 40 of them that cover a wider variety of interests. C&O's are a great way to gain leadership skill and build your resume.

Student Government Association  -  Also known as SGA, they are the student governing body elected by the student body.  SGA is the voice of the BCCC student.

Union Program Board - Also known as UPB, is an all student group that provides programs and activities for students using the Student Activities Fee.

Womens Center -The Women's Center works to increase student understanding of gender issues and to enhance student education through programs and resources

Early Learning Center - The center is licensed as a day care center by the Pennsylvania Department of Public Welfare, and is accredited by the National Association for the Education of Young Children and  has been awarded a four-star rating by the Pennsylvania Keystone Stars quality definition program

Student Code of Conduct Enforcement - All complaints filed to Safety and Security or the Student Life Office will be investigated by the Director of Student Life Programs for Student Code of Conduct  violations.

Student Accident and Sickness Insurance (Bollinger Insurance Company)-  Students who are without basic insurance can get more information at this link or you can request a brochure from the Student Life Office  (215-968-8257).   Student Life only provides insurance information, all payments and paperwork are sent directly to Bollinger Insurance Company.
