Transcript Information
Your transcript is the official, permanent record of all the courses you have taken while attending Bucks County Community College. There are three (3) types of transcripts and, depending on your association with the College, you may have a transcript at each level:
- Undergraduate Transcript (UG) – contains all credit courses
- Continuing Education Transcript (CE) – contains LPN, Radiography, and non-credit courses
- Public Safety Transcript – contains all Fire School courses (non-credit)
In accordance with the Public Information Act and the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) of 1974, as amended, student academic records are classified as confidential and may be released only with the student's written authorization and signature. NO ONE ELSE (including your spouse, parent, family member, friend, etc.) can request your transcript, as your written permission is required by law. Bucks County Community College has authorized Parchment to manage the order, processing, and secure delivery of student transcripts. Transcripts will not be issued if any outstanding financial obligation exists with Bucks County Community College.
