Returning PCC Noncredit Student

You are considered a “Returning Noncredit Student” and will need to complete a new Application for the PCC Noncredit Division if:

  • You were a former PCC student but haven't taken Noncredit or Credit classes for a year or more (i.e. you missed both Fall and Spring semester)
  • You enrolled in your first semester of PCC Noncredit classes but didn't finish the semester

Follow These Steps:

1

Once your application has been accepted, you will receive a Welcome Letter via email within 5 business days. The letter will be sent to the email address you provided during the application process. Follow all required steps listed in the letter.

The Welcome Letter you received will contain your assigned LancerPoint User Name, student ID#, and the steps you must follow. Your student ID# should match your prior ID#.
