If you applied to transfer, you may have received an email request from the schools to which you applied to verify your ADT status. Review the communication (email or to-do list) from your schools to see the various ways to verify your ADT.

• ADT verification is completed by Counseling and/or Admissions and Records.
  • You must petition to graduate before PCC can submit a verification to any university. PCC must have official transcripts on file from any other college or university you have ever attended to process a graduation petition. If you attended another college or university before, at the same time, or after you attended PCC and have not submitted transcripts to PCC, please have official transcripts from all of those institutions submitted to PCC Admissions and Records as soon as possible.
  • Have you finished your ADT, or are you on track to finish requirements this spring? Submit a Graduation Request to have a counselor review your records and approve your degree.
  • Request a PCC degree

If you have transcripts from other colleges that have not yet been submitted to PCC, contact PCC Admissions and Records. 

• Make sure to check all university portals and all email messages, including those in your Spam mailbox.
• If a school is requesting transcripts, have them sent now, even if you are still enrolled in classes this spring.
• Always try to contact the university directly for more information about Next Steps for applicants.
