Enroll at PCC

When to register

students in classMost students can register beginning about 6 weeks before the term starts. You can register up to the first day of class. We use priority registration: the more credits you’ve earned, the earlier you can register. This helps students graduate on time by giving them the opportunity to enroll in required classes that fill up quickly.

How priority registration works

  • Students who were enrolled in credit classes the previous term can register earlier. The exception is fall term: for earlier fall registration, you must have been enrolled the previous spring.
  • Registration priority is based on credits: the more credits you’ve earned at PCC, the earlier you can register. Transfer credits and credits in progress are not included.
  • Students who have declared a degree can register earlier than undeclared students.

About two weeks before registration begins, you’ll get your priority registration group and date in your PCC email. You can also see your registration dates by clicking See when (and if) you can register on the MyPCC Home tab.

Registering after a class has started

If you try to register after a class has started, you will get an error saying “Adds not allowed after 1st day”. To register on or after the first day of class, you need to get instructor approval and register before the late registration deadline.

Late registration deadline
Spring term update

For spring term, the late registration deadline is April 14.

For 8-12 week classes, the late registration deadline is the second Tuesday of the term. For short-term classes, which have earlier deadlines, it is two business days after the drop deadline for the class. You cannot register for a class after the deadline.

How to request approval for late registration
  1. Find your class in the schedule and email your instructor (instructions below). Ask the instructor if there is availability in the class. If they agree, have the instructor complete a registration override in MyPCC using your G number.
  2. Once the instructor has completed the override, you’ll get an email saying you can register for the class. (You can check your override status by clicking?See when (and if) you can register on the MyPCC Home tab.)
  3. Register for the class in MyPCC. You must register for the class by the late registration deadline (see when to register above). The late registration deadline is typically the same as the drop deadline. This means you must be certain you want the class, as you won’t be able to drop it after that date. If you are on the waitlist for the specific course CRN you are attempting to register for, you must first remove yourself from the waitlist before you can add the class.
