To use credits from your previous college to clear prerequisites for a PCC course, you will need to submit an online prerequisite clearance request for each class. Remember to attach your unofficial transcript and/or AP scores (when printing from your college portal, change your printer to PDF to save as an electronic copy or scan your unofficial transcript as a PDF)

Overview

Our Short Term Counseling Request can be used to get your Student Educational Plan. Before you submit the request, make sure you:

  • Have an electronic copy of your unofficial university transcript (or high school) to attach to your request 
  • Know which class(es) you wish to take (Example: ECON 1A)
  • After submitting your request, a counselor will email you at your PCC email within 4-7 business days (may take longer during peak times).
Important COVID-19 Vaccination Requirement:
If you are registering for in-person classes, you must upload your vaccination records before you will be able to register.
