Petitioning to Remove Tuition Charges
If you were unable to complete your course(s) due to circumstances beyond your control, you may file a petition to request a tuition credit. If approved, a tuition credit of 25% to 100% will be applied to your account. Petitions do not cover non-refundable lab and other course fees, nor do they change the grade assigned by your instructor. Notification of the outcome of your petition will be sent to your MyPCC email address within 30 days of receipt. Prior to submitting your petition, please review PCC’s registration policies at www.pcc.edu/registration/policies/ and the petition information listed below. Please pay particular attention to the Petition Requirements section as all requirements must be met before your petition will be considered.
