Some courses have prerequisites that must be met before enrollment. The requirements are contained in the PPCC catalog. Enrollment in more than one course at a time will require the approval of the Prior Learning Services office. Also, some of the classes require that you have work or organization-related background in the discipline area. Information regarding these requirements may be obtained by calling Prior Learning Services.
Students attend intensive classroom sessions with faculty.
Time is also spent outside of the classroom completing a significant number of course activities. An enrollment can be processed at any time and the term is not restricted to the traditionally scheduled college semester schedule. Student instructional packets are provided which contain information on course requirements, textbook, study guide, testing, instructor name, address, telephone number, and other related information which will assist the student in completing course requirements. Extensions to course end dates may be granted depending on the extenuating circumstances of the student. VA educational entitlement is authorized for eligible students, and the entitlement will be determined by the Veterans Administration Regional Office.
