Although spring semester at Bucks County Community College launches in midwinter, a new event in early January welcomes new and returning students to cozy up to new opportunities.
“At the Winter Warm-up to Spring Semester, students can meet with an advisor, take placement tests, learn about financial aid, register for classes, and much more,” said Joe Guiffre, Interim Director of Advising at the public, two-year college. “You can get a selfie with Brutus, our Centurion mascot, and sip some hot cocoa, all while getting ready to advance your academic career.”
College staff will be available to help students fill out the free application, choose courses, and navigate the registration and payment processes, added Guiffre. The open-admission college offers associate degrees and certificates, with most credits transferable to a four-year college or university.
The Winter Warm-up to Spring Semester takes place Monday – Friday, January 5-16, in-person and online. Classes begin January 21, February 9 and March 3.
