Notification

In keeping with the Higher Education Opportunity Act of 2008 (HEOA), and the Office of Civil Rights, Bucks County Community College is required to notify students of important information about the college and your rights, responsibilities, and safety. Please take a moment to review the following information. Paper copies of this information are available upon request.

ANNUAL NOTICE OF NON-DISCRIMINATION

Bucks County Community College does not discriminate in its educational programs, activities or employment practices based on race, color, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, disability, age, religion, ancestry, veteran status, union membership, or any other legally protected category. This policy is in accordance with state law, including the Pennsylvania Human Relations Act, and with federal law, including Title VI and Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA), the ADA Amendments Act of 2008 (ADAAA), Sections 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act, Revised 2017.

Any person may apply for admission to Bucks County Community College. Admission is generally granted to graduates of accredited secondary schools, to recipients of a high school equivalency diploma, and to others who, in the judgment of the college, are likely to benefit from a collegiate experience. Admission to some programs of study is limited by available facilities, the number of faculty, county of residence, or other factors. The college may guide the enrollment of entering students in an effort to improve their opportunity to succeed in college.  Bucks County Community College offers transfer degree programs designed to parallel the first two years of study at a four-year college as well as career and technical programs in the following clusters: Arts and Communication, Business + Innovation, Health Sciences, Kinesiology and Sport Studies, Language and Literature, Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics, and Social and Behavioral Science. Lack of English language skills will not present a barrier to admission or participation in these educational programs.

All inquiries regarding the nondiscrimination policy shall be directed to the Chief Diversity Equity & Inclusion Officer, Bucks County Community College, 275 Swamp Road, Newtown, PA 18940, (phone) 215-968-8093 (email) diversity@bucks.edu.

STUDENT TITLE IX AND NON-DISCRIMINATION COMPLAINT PROCEDURE

A complaint must be signed and submitted to diversity@bucks.edu to the Chief Diversity Equity & Inclusion Officer (CDEIO). An individual may refuse to put a complaint in writing. However, notwithstanding that refusal, if there is reasonable cause to believe that illegal discrimination may be occurring, the college will investigate the verbal complaint to the best of its ability and will proceed with any action that is warranted.
