Your courses were deleted for non-payment.

Payment is due two weeks before the term starts. If you don’t have a payment arrangement set up by the due date, we may delete your course registrations. If that happens, you lose your seat in all your classes.

Don’t count on the college to remove you from classes. It’s up to you to manage your schedule and drop any classes you won’t be able to attend.

Check if your courses are protected

  1. Log into MyPCC and go to the Paying for College tab
  2. Look at the chair in the Don’t Get Deleted channel
  3. Check back when there has been a change to your student account, for example:
    • adding or dropping a class
    • changing your payment arrangements
    • a change in your financial aid or VA benefits
