Academic Restart
This program is for students who attended Bucks in the past and compiled an unsuccessful academic record. The Academic Restart program provides certain students with an opportunity to redirect their academic goals or renew their college careers. This one-time-only option permits students to reset the Bucks County Community College grade point average (GPA) and the cumulative credits earned total to zero.
In order to be eligible for this program, you must meet these criteria:
- You have not been enrolled at Bucks County Community College for a period of three (3) consecutive years. The effective date of the restart is the semester you return to the College after the three year absence.
- You were never granted the Academic Restart option previously.
- You must take the College’s battery of placement tests administered by the Office of Testing.
Test scores are valid for placement purposes for three years. If a student does not register and fulfill courses tested into within 3 years, new placement scores will be required.
