Computer Resource Centers (CRC)
The most comprehensive facilities open to all currently registered PCC students are the Computer Resource Centers. They are located on the Cascade, Rock Creek, Southeast Center and Sylvania campuses. Software applications include Internet access, word processing, desktop publishing, spreadsheets, databases, web page authoring, presentations and programming languages.
While all currently enrolled PCC students are welcome, an orientation is required before using the centers.
If you need help while using a CRC, lab assistants are available to assist you with computer applications such as Word and Excel. See the lab assistant job description if you are interested in student employment opportunities with the CRC.
Computer Application Systems tutors are also available to aid with Office Applications, web development and other CAS assignments. Please contact your campus CRC for more information regarding CAS, CIS & CS tutoring locations and hours of availability.
