Bucks Invites Students To "Cozy Up" To Spring Semester

NEWTOWN, PA — A new early January event is inviting new and returning students to "cozy up" to new opportunities for the upcoming spring semester at the Bucks County Community College in Newtown, Perkasie and Bristol.

"Winter Warm-up To The Spring Semester" will be offering a one-stop shop for advising and course selection - plus hot chocolate - between Jan. 5 and 16.

“At the Winter Warm-up, students can meet with an advisor, take placement tests, learn about financial aid, register for classes, and much more,” said Joe Guiffre, Interim Director of Advising at the public, two-year college. “You can get a selfie with Brutus, our Centurion mascot, and sip some hot cocoa, all while getting ready to advance your academic career.”

College staff will be available to help students fill out the free application, choose courses, and navigate the registration and payment processes, added Guiffre. The open-admission college offers associate degrees and certificates, with most credits transferable to a four-year college or university.

The Winter Warm-up to Spring Semester takes place Monday to Friday, January 5-16, in-person and online. Classes begin January 21, February 9 and March 3.
