For Guidance Counselors
We ask that your students take an active part in the steps to enrollment
High school juniors with a 3.25+ cumulative GPA and seniors with a 3.00+ cumulative GPA may be eligible for placement test waivers. If your student requests a transcript, it can be emailed to waivers@bucks.edu.Thank you for supporting your students as they consider the high school enrichment program! While we do not require forms or signatures from you as the guidance counselor, we ask students to connect with you about their decision to take a college course while still in high school. We inform students that they must work with you if they’re seeking high school credit for a Bucks course as every high school has its own requirements.
