Students miss important information every semester because they aren’t checking their PCC email.

You may receive information regarding:

  • Class updates

Checking your PCC email regularly can help you avoid surprises.

Review the PCC Academic Calendar regularly for:

  • First day of classes

  • Drop deadlines
  • Withdrawal deadlines
  • Holidays and breaks
  • Registration dates

Before classes begin:

  • Obtain your student ID
  • Secure your parking permit/pass
  • Purchase required textbooks
  • Gather any required materials or supplies

How to obtain your student ID & parking pass:

  1. Log into your myPittCC account

  4. After tuition is paid, you can pick up your parking pass/decal and student ID in the Goess Student Center, M-F, 9-4 PM.

How to buy books:

Order your books online at bookstore.pittcc.edu or in-person by visiting the Student Store in the Goess Student Center.

A little preparation can make your first day much less stressful.

One of the most common issues we see involves students who do not complete required attendance activities.

If you are enrolled in an online or hybrid course, be sure to complete any required attendance verification activities by the deadline established by your instructor. Students who fail to complete attendance requirements may be reported as never attended and dropped from their classes.

If you’re unsure what you need to do, contact your instructor or Bulldog Central right away.
