 Congratulations on your commitment to create new opportunities for yourself through higher education at Pueblo Community College (PCC). You will find our faculty and staff welcoming and fully supportive of your quest. Our small, intimate campus community will provide you a very personal and enriching educational experience.
I especially want you to know about the numerous services PCC provides to assist in your pursuit. These services often can make all the difference in timely and affordable achievement of your goals. Learning services, financial assistance, academic advising, career counseling, and student services are extremely valuable resources available to all students at PCC.
Learning services include free tutoring, focused learning groups, study skills enhancement, test taking strategies, and accelerated basic skills development. These programs are not “extras”; rather, they are key shortcuts to success. Assertive participation on your part may allow you to take a higher course load to finish your program of study faster, and may also significantly reduce academic stress.
Financial assistance includes scholarship guidance, loan programs, and one-on-one counseling to complete the necessary applications. PCC also offers numerous programs of “free money” for school. These “pots” of money are available to every student and generally require very simple applications, but you must apply by make-or-break deadlines.
Academic and career advising are your roadmaps in your academic journey. Seek guidance early and often to keep on the shortest path to success. Our advisors will help you develop plans that are guaranteed to transfer to your next school or lead directly into career placement.
Finally, student services offer you opportunities to enrich your experience while at PCC by becoming involved in student activities and clubs. Student services also provide critical resources to help you stay in school, such as child care and transportation.
Please accept my heartfelt welcome to the PCC family and the abundant faculty and staff support to achieve your dreams. I highly encourage you to begin planning for success by scheduling a one hour tour of campus resources with a student ambassador, and learn to navigate the campus web site to include our “Banner” registration system. A quick, focused orientation can make a more enjoyable and smoother journey in your quest for higher education. Welcome to Pueblo Community College!
Sincerely,
J.D. Garvin
