Below you’ll find answers to the questions about applying for graduate studies that we get asked the most.

For summer or one-week modules, residence hall accommodations are available for single or married students. Spouses are also welcome to stay if space is available and only pay room and board per session. Children are not permitted to stay in the residence halls. During the fall and spring semesters, residence hall accommodations are only available for single students.

Residence hall rooms are single occupancy for the summer but may have multiple occupants during the fall and spring semesters. Your room will have either a private or adjoining bathroom, standard twin-size beds, closet and dresser space, a mini-fridge, a desk, chairs, and shelving. Linens or pillows are not provided.

The 4.00 grading system below is used for all students.

Grade Grade Points Per Hour
A (Excellent) 4
B (Good) 3
C (Passing) 2
D (Unsatisfactory) 1
F (Failing) 0

If you don’t earn a passing grade, you are able to repeat the course. All grades earned become part of your permanent record and will show on any PCC transcript. However, when a course is repeated, the highest grade you earned for that course will be used in computing your grade point average. (Note: Credit hours are only counted once for repeated courses.) For more details, see grading system.
