Testing Center
Bucks County Community College is temporarily moving to a remote testing solution for placement testing. Students will be able to test at home through their own computers. For the Math Placement Test, a webcam, microphone, and desktop or laptop computer are required for this test. If you only have access to a Chromebook or iPad, please contact Testing at testing@bucks.edu for alternate instructions. Students must first apply to the College. Instructions for testing will be sent in their acceptance letter.
If you have already been accepted to the College and need to test, please email testing@bucks.edu for instructions.
Note:
- AESL students must contact aeslcoordinator@bucks.edu for more information on placement testing options, advising, and registration.
- For Chemistry Placement Testing questions, please contact Emily Totman in the STEM Department at emily.totman@bucks.edu.
- New processes for prerequisite approval via transcripts from another college for guest and transfer students are posted on the Registrar resource page
- If you have any questions regarding the placement tests you are required to take, testing waivers, or the next steps in the enrollment process, please email info@bucks.edu.
If you have questions regarding the tests themselves, you may speak to Testing Center staff over Zoom to receive Testing Center Support. Staff will be available to assist with any testing questions. To book a time slot, please visit our Testing Center Support page.
