Step 1: Apply for Admission

Identity Verification: All new credit applicants must verify their identity to help maintain a secure learning environment. You will need:

  • A computer or mobile device with a camera for a real-time photo (Liveness Check)
  • A valid photo ID (e.g., driver's license, passport, or state-issued ID)
Step 2: Register for Classes

Visiting and transient students are not required to meet with an academic advisor before registering for classes.

If the course you want to take has a prerequisite, staff assistance is needed. After applying, email advising@pvcc.edu with your PVCC student ID number and the course you want to take.

Step 3: Pay Your Tuition

You can pay in person or online by credit card. Be sure to pay by the payment deadline to avoid being dropped from your classes.
