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. 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 assessment tests administered by the Office of Testing and Retention.
Test scores are valid for placement purposes for three years.
If a student does not enroll in the College within three years or register and fulfill courses tested into, new ATP scores will be required.
