Age Requirements for Taking Courses

All courses are for individuals, ages 18 or older unless otherwise noted.

Continuing Education Units

Continuing Education Units (CEUs) are offered for selected courses and are valuable for individuals wishing to demonstrate their participation in educational pursuits beyond or outside of a degree program. One CEU is equal to ten contact hours of participation in continuing education. Upon completion of courses granting CEUs, participants may receive a statement of CEUs earned. These are permanently recorded with the Continuing Education Office. CEU’s do not apply toward degree programs or graduation.

Course Changes/Cancellations

Bucks County Community College reserves the right to cancel a course entirely or to change its time, location or instructor. In the event a course for which you have registered is canceled, you will be notified. If you are unable to substitute a suitable replacement for a canceled course, you will be refunded all tuition and fees you have paid for the course.

Emergency Closings & Inclement Weather

We may at times be forced to cancel classes. Please register for Bucks emergency alert system which will send urgent notifications regarding campus activities to your cell phone and/or email at:
