HONORS US HISTORY STUDENTS

If you've experienced issues with your PCC registration, please the information below:

Dear PCC Dual Credit Faculty:

Our office has received numerous phone calls and emails from you and your students with holds on their accounts preventing them from registering for your Dual Credit courses.

PCC has recently initiated a new process for students 16 and under which involves applying holds to their accounts as required for PCC's on-campus students.

This hold limits registration accesses for students within this category until they've completed the additional requirements their individual hold(s) dictate i.e., PCC Admission Orientation, High School Permission Letter, etc.

In the past these holds were removed from our Dual Credit students' accounts prior to the registration window opening. Our students are no longer exempt from this process and the holds are having to being lifted manually.

Please have your students who are experiencing this issue email Anne Mayer, PCC Enrollment Services Specialist at aemayer@pcc.edu from their PCC email accounts.

After students are logged into their MyPCC portal, have them look in the upper-right hand corner for an email icon. This will open their PCC email in a G-mail format.

Anne will reply to the student's request within two business days with a notification that their hold(s) have been lifted and they're able to register.

​ Our office is working to have this issue resolved so it does not delay the registration process for your students again in the future.

Any additional issues or concerns, please contact me directly at 971-722-7737.

Sincerely,

Jacqlyn
