PPCC students need flexibility. That’s why we offer day, evening and weekend courses in traditional, online and hybrid formats. Whether online or in-person, our classrooms are small, meaning you'll get the attention you deserve. Plus, whether you are a part-time (0-11 credits) or full-time (12+ credits) student, you will receive advising to keep you on track and help you reach your goals.
Success means providing a variety of services that help you reach your academic goals, services like:
• Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society • Student Government • Multi-Cultural Student Union
• Tutoring & learning labs • Academic & career counseling • Study skills courses
Traditional classes (at a campus, in a classroom, with a professor and fellow students within arms reach)
Online classes (from the comfort of your own home, in your pajamas, or at a coffee shop, connected to students from all over the world)
Hybrid classes (the best of both worlds, half online and half in the classroom)

Congrats, you're enrolled! The first step to becoming a succesful PPCC student is attending orientation.
Paying for College 3 things to keep in
mind about the FAFSA: Everyone should have the opportunity to go to college. That’s why we encourage our students to apply for financial aid; it helps students acquire grants, loans, work study and scholarships - all of which make going to college more affordable. The first step of the financial process is applying for the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Be sure to apply early because some aid is first come, first serve. The cost of college depends on the number of credit hours a student takes and the fees associated with the various courses. However, we can provide estimates based on the typical number of classes most students take. The costs listed are estimates for tuition and fees. Please keep in mind these costs are not a guarantee, they are simply estimates.
It can be completed online at: fafsa.ed.gov
ĂŽ
The priority deadline to complete your FAFSA is March 31

The PPCC FAFSA Code is: 008896
