Preparatory Coursework

To be eligible for federal financial aid you must be enrolled in an eligible academic program. Students only completing preparatory coursework to be admitted to a selective admission program do not meet this requirement.

If you are looking to be admitted to a selective admission program we recommend that you talk with the specific program and/or academic advisor to review your options. We recommend you have all the information before deciding which program you want to enroll in and complete.

Here are a few things you should do to help ensure a smooth transition:

• Review the Program of Study and Eligible Programs & Courses webpage to determine if you are eligible to receive a degree in the program you want to enroll in.
• Submit your official transcript for evaluation
• Make an appointment with the academic program and/or academic advisor to talk through the options available to you and create an academic plan
  
  • Have an unofficial transcript available for the appointment
• Update you educational intent to preparatory coursework
• Submit your FAFSA and add PCC’s school code of 007266
• Log into MyPima to review your requirements on your Financial Aid Dashboard
  
  • Contact us if you have any questions or want to make an appointment
• Apply for scholarships at pima.scholarshipuniverse.com
