Placement Testing Schedule

Bucks County Community College is currently offering a remote testing solution for placement testing. Students will be able to test at home through their own computers. 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 want to test remotely, please email testing@bucks.edu for instructions. When emailing us, please include your name, as it appeared on your application, your seven-digit Bucks ID number, and your Date of Birth.

In-person testing is available in Newtown on a walk-in basis. Please view the schedule below.

Information for prerequisite approval via transcripts from another college for guest and transfer students are posted on the Admissions and Registrar Page.
