Thank you for your interest in PPSC Career Start!
Dates for the 26/27 school year will be updated in December 2026.
However, feel free to check out the process below so you have an idea of what to expect.
As a future VRHS CE student, you will not need to meet with PPSC for advising but instead, you will be required to meet with your school counselor.
If you need accommodations/modifications for your future college classes, you will need to meet with the PPCC Accessibility Services Office. We are happy to provide more information/details regarding that during our Advising Appointment or if you send your counselor an email after your application has been completed.
