This unit is responsible for the administration of admission to the college, registration, student academic records, commencement exercises, federal student financial aid program, and Federal Work Study Program.

ADMISSIONS REQUIREMENTS & INFORMATION

The college supports an open-door admission policy which provides opportunities for (1) high school graduates, (2) persons who have passed the GED, (3) individuals 18 years of age or older, and (4) individuals who qualify for dual enrollment, to apply for admission.

Admission to the college does not necessarily imply immediate admission to the program desired by the applicant since certain programs have limited enrollment due to space limitations or certification/degree requirements.

All applicants who wish to earn credits are required to take the appropriate PCC placement tests. The results of these tests are used to place students in appropriate classes. (Natives of English-speaking countries are exempt from TOEFL Requirements). Students are expected to follow the requirements for the degree or certificate they plan to earn, to be responsible for checking and reporting any error in their enrollment and to know the rules and regulations of the college.

FINANCIAL AID INFORMATION

The purpose of PCC's financial aid program is to assist, within the bounds of its own limitations, sudents who have financial needs in bridging the gap between the cost of education and their ability to pay. The college offers assistance whenever possible in the form of scholarships, grants, and part-time employment to help students with their educational expenses. These awards may be offered singly or in a variety of combinations. In order for a financial need analysis to be completed, certain personal financial disclosures are required of students. Determination of financial need will be made based upon the financial information submitted by students, which shall be kept confidential.

The following types of financial aid which are federally funded are available to qualified students at Palau Community College: Federal Pell Grant (FPG), Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (FSEOG), Federal Work-Study (FWS), and Student Incentive Grant (SSIG).

The PCC Grant-In-Aid, which does not derive from federal funds, is also available to qualified students. In addition, there is a College Work Opportunity (CWO), a part-time employment that is available for those students who are not eligible to receive federal funds.
