Placement Testing Schedule

Bucks County Community College offers placement testing remotely and in person. Students can test in person during the department’s open hours or remotely on their own schedule. If testing remotely, a webcam, microphone, and desktop or laptop computer are required for testing. If you do not meet these technical requirements or if you only have access to a tablet or mobile device, you must test in person in the Testing Center. Students must first apply to the College. Instructions for testing will be sent in their acceptance letter.

In-person testing is available in Newtown on a walk-in basis. Please view the schedule below.

**If English is your second language, your Placement Tests must be taken at our Testing Center. Please refer to the schedule for available hours.**

Information for prerequisite approval via transcripts from another college for guest and transfer students are posted on the Admissions and Registrar Page.

If you have any questions regarding the placement tests you are required to take, testing waivers, or the next steps in the enrollment process, please email info@bucks.edu.

If you have questions regarding the tests themselves, please contact the Testing Center directly at testing@bucks.edu or 215-968-8466.
