Non-credit and Continuing Education (CEU) Classes
Departmental policies for non-credit and CEU courses vary. In most cases you may petition for registration fees to be removed if there are extenuating circumstances. See Petitioning to Remove Tuition Charges for more information.
To drop a Community Education class, please see the Community Education Guidelines and Policies regarding their Refund/Drop Policy.
Adding Classes
Before the first day of class, adding is easy online.
Adding from the Waitlist
Some students will automatically be enrolled from course waitlists before the class starts. If you are not automatically enrolled when space becomes available you will have to get the instructor's permission (an online registration override) to add the class. After the instructor completes the online registration override you will then receive an email notifying you that you can register for the class using MyPCC online. Late registration ends two business days after the course drop deadline.
