  2. Apply for financial aid. All students are encouraged to apply for financial aid. You may apply for financial aid at any time, but the best time to apply is in the early spring of the year you will begin at PVCC.
  3. Send official transcripts to PVCC.
  4. Meet with an admissions specialist to schedule placement tests and help determine other services you may need. E-mail the Welcome Center or call 434.961.6551 to set up an appointment.
  5. Take placement tests. If you are pursuing a degree or certificate at PVCC, you will need to take placement tests to determine appropriate class levels. The Learning Center at PVCC administers these tests free of charge.
  6. Meet with an academic counselor. It is important to review your placement test scores, transcripts and program of study with a PVCC counselor. To make an appointment e-mail the Counseling Center or call 434.961.5264.
  7. Register for classes online through MyPVCC. Explore the PVCC class schedule to decide which classes you would like to take. All first-time, first-year students who graduated from high school this year or last year are required to enroll in the Student Development SDV101 First Year Success class.
  8. Pay tuition and fees at MyPVCC or set up automatic payments through Nelnet (formerly FACTS). When you register for classes, the Student Information System will indicate how much you owe. Tuition must be paid before attending class.
  9. Purchase textbooks from the PVCC Bookstore or PVCC's Used Book Web site. If you are receiving financial aid, you may charge books to your financial aid account at the Bookstore after you receive your financial aid award letter from PVCC and only during the week before classes begin and through the second week of classes. PVCC's Bookstore is located in the Main Building.
