Registration Steps
Follow these steps to register for your classes.
Start by logging in to your LancerPoint account. If this is your first time logging in, you will need to activate your LancerPoint account.
Activate your account by following all the prompts. You do not need to provide your Social Security Number (SSN) if you do not have one. You will choose 3 security questions and provide answers. You will set up your password by following the instructions and click "Submit." Once activation is complete, return to the login screen using your username and the password you just set up.
As an international student at PCC, you qualify to register for your classes early. New and returning students may register for classes before you arrive in the U.S. in person.
If you plan on being physically present in the U.S. during Fall or Spring semester, you need to take minimum of 12 units.
If you plan on staying in your home country as an overseas student during Fall or Spring semester, you are not required to take minimum 12 units. We recommend you to take 6 units or less because of the time difference.
Below are recommended classes for new students. Returning and continuing students should refer to their Educational Plan on LancerPoint or schedule an appointment with your Academic Counselor through PCC Connect to discuss your Educational Plan.

Please make sure you prepare any proof that shows your competency in the subject (example: college transcripts, AP or IB exam scores, etc.).
