Before you head into your cave, check out all 

the ways you can play and explore with Creative 

Arts classes… 

In Benjamin Silver’s Experimental Painting class, 

you can “paint from your gut, not your head,” 

utilizing a wild variety of media. You might even 

find yourself working on a group installation 

piece that re-uses outdated PCC banners. 

Our ever-popular ceramics classes offer an 

array of options for working with clay and 

learning from instructors who are talented 

professionals. The SE Center ceramics studio 

is featured in a video on the PCC website: 

news.pcc.edu/2012/05/ceramics-video/. 

If you want to make some noise to invite back 

the sun, we’ve got all kinds of music classes for 

many levels of proficiency: from Beat Making 

101, to those that focus on various string 

instruments, to Jazz Singing. If you want to 

quietly observe the changing shadows, you can 

find a photography class for yourself -- whether 

you’ve got an old manual camera or a new 

digital one with (until-now) mysterious buttons. 

Enjoy your class!

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT 

New payment plans and 

financial resources for PCC students! 

PCC was recently awarded a grant by the U.S. Department of Education 

to improve student access to college-related financial information and 

increase the number of PCC students who are financially prepared to attend. 

This effort includes the following: 


To maintain course registrations and avoid late fees, students must 

pay tuition and fees in full upon registration or have a college-approved 

financial arrangement in place. 

To avoid late fees, possible deletion from your course, or other impacts to your 

registration, please visit www.pcc.edu/pay. 

Payment plans 

To provide greater flexibility for students, PCC is now offering 

enhanced payment plan options through MyPCC. 

Details and additional information regarding payment plans can be 

found online at www.pcc.edu/payplan. 

Are you a degree-seeking student? 

Submit your Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) form early! 

Priority timelines for financial aid and the FAFSA application can be found

Registration Confirmation 

Confirmation of class registration is assumed 

once you register. You will not be sent written 

confirmation. Access to your class schedule and 

bill is available online using MyPCC. PCC does 

not bill daily, so you may or may not receive a 

bill before class begins. If you register online, be 

sure to monitor your MyPCC email account for 

your PCC e-bill notification. 

Registration Dates 

You can register online through MyPCC or 

in person as late as the first day of class, 

but by waiting you run the risk of the class 

either being filled or being cancelled and not 

knowing about the cancellation. You can find 

term-specific registration start dates online at 

www.pcc.edu/academic-calendar. 

Waitlists 

PCC has an automatic waitlist system for most 

classes. If the class is full and you put your 

name on the waitlist, you will receive a waitlist 

number. If a space opens up in the class, you 

will be automatically registered for the class. 

You will receive electronic confirmation that 

you have been placed in the class ONLY via 

your MyPCC account. If you are moved into 

the class, you are officially registered and 

responsible for paying for the class. 

Missing a class 

Missing a class once in a while is okay. We 

know 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. You will not be automatically dropped 

from the course if you miss the first class. 

You will need to file an add/drop form to avoid 

paying for the class. (See Refund/Drop Policy)
