Resources for Student Preparedness

    • This is a great landing page that provides information on how online classes work, tips for online success, and where to find help/resources. 

  • PCC's Online Start Guide for Students: 
    • I am hoping that most of you have completed the Online Start Guide -- if not, and you are feeling stressed out about online classes, this is a good place to go to get a foundation in Online Learning at PCC.

  • PCC Panther Tracks:
    • The Student Affairs team has been hard at work revamping the Panther Tracks, the online guide for students at PCC! There are so many valuable resources and links provided in the Panther Tracks that can really help with overall academic success!
