PCC is physically closed to student and public access. During this time we are modifying our services to be able to continue to support you remotely. For collegewide updates, please Read the Latest Coronavirus Updates.

Temporary Change to CORE's Services

During PCC's period of closed campus access, CORE is not conducting business in-person. Please use our alternative Remote/Online services during this time.
