My scores on my ACT/CLT/SAT were not as high as I'd hoped. What should I do?

An applicant who falls below either of these standards may be considered for provisional acceptance by the Academic Admissions Committee. Since ACT/CLT/SAT scores aren't the only factor in acceptance, please go ahead and submit your application.

Am I required to have medical insurance?

Medical insurance is not required for admission, but may be necessary if off-campus medical care is necessary. Many students are covered on their parents' policies. The Graf Clinic, staffed by medical professionals with Baptist Medical Group of Pensacola, is available to all students and provides health care during regular clinic hours for minor illnesses and injuries. After-hours health needs and serious illnesses or injuries are referred to off-campus medical facilities associated with one of three area hospitals.

How will I know what to do when I get to PCC?

When you get here, you'll find people ready to help almost wherever you go-from the front gate to your residence hall. You'll also see maps around campus showing you where you are. When you make your way to the first floor of the Academic Center, you'll check in and get a personalized schedule, plus watch a short video explaining what to do next. You can also look in the PCC Student Handbook to see more about checking in, registering for classes, and getting settled on campus. Of course, your admissions counselor is always happy to answer any questions you might have.
