Get Started

Explore Pima for Youth in the noncredit class schedule and sign up today.

Pima for Youth class locations are open-door facilities. During scheduled class times, participating students are free to come and go at any time.

Pima Community College staff members do not give permission for participating students to leave class or class locations, nor do they insist that they stay. Decisions about when students arrive and leave, and with whom, are between the student and their parent/guardian. It is the responsibility of the student and their parent/guardian to determine, understand and enforce whatever arrival and departure times and methods they choose.

Neither the College or Pima for Youth are daycare or childcare facilities and state licensing does not regulate their operation. All parents/guardians are required to sign an acknowledgement of the Open Door Policy. This can be done via email and electronic signature, by FAX or hard copy via mail. The signed acknowledgement must be received before the first day of class.

Questions about this policy? Email pcc-youth@pima.edu

Class enrollment is on a first-come, first-served basis. To secure a class, payment must be made at the time of registration. Register and pay online or call 520.206.6468.

Once registration has been confirmed, you will receive the following forms by email:

  • Waiver of Liability & Open Door Policy

Forms for each participant must be completed and returned by the first day of class.

Refund Policy & Class Cancellations

Email pcc-youth@pima.edu or call 520.206.6444 to request a refund. Refund requests must be received no less than seven calendar days prior to the start of the class. Refunds will not be issued once a class begins.

Pima for Youth classes are supported by participant fees. For this reason, each class has minimum enrollment requirements. The College reserves the right to cancel a class due to low enrollment.
