Missing a class

Students who take our classes have busy schedules and vibrant lives. It is not necessary to contact your instructor if you plan to be absent from a non-credit class. Please note: You will NOT be automatically dropped due to absences.

Class cancellations

Occasionally we must cancel a class due to low enrollment or last-minute emergencies. If your class is cancelled, you will receive a full refund. Your refund will be processed in the manner in which you paid. If you used a credit card, your card will be credited. If you paid with a check, PCC will mail you a check. It may take up to 30 days to process a refund. You may be able to expedite the refund by contacting the PCC Student Account Services at 971-722-8888, option 3.

Student email accounts

The college will send important information (bills, wait list information, etc.) to students’ PCC email accounts.

Every PCC student has a PCC email account that includes “@pcc.edu” in the address. To log in to your email, visit my.pcc.edu and click the email icon in the upper right corner. Call the PCC Service Desk at 971‐722‐4400 if you need assistance obtaining your username and password.
