When can I meet with an advisor?

Meeting with an academic advisor is one of the final steps to registering at Bucks. Before you make an appointment, you must:

  1. Have access to your Bucks Student Account.
  2. Complete all placement tests and/or receive a waiver.

We strongly encourage all students to complete the FAFSA. Payment is due at the time of registration. Payment plans are available.

If you would like a parent/guardian to join your session, please first add them as a proxy.

Can I change my advisor?

If you wish to be seen by a different academic advisor than your currently assigned advisor, you may submit an Advisor Change Request for review.

Are there courses with zero textbook costs (ZTC)?

Yes, we have over 140 classes that utilize free alternative resources to costly textbooks. You can review those ZTC courses at any time for future semester course planning!
