Program of Study. This is the "major" a student pursues for graduation. 

To comply with state law, PCC students seeking in-state tuition must complete a one-time Verification of Lawful Presence Form. Once completed, you won't need to file again while at Pima.

All new and continuing students seeking in-state tuition and registering for credit classes must complete the form and provide documentation.

You will have 10 days from the first day of admission to complete the Verification of Lawful Presence form.  If you do not complete and submit the form within this time period a hold will be placed on your record.  You will not be able to view your grades or receive a transcript until the form is processed. 

Submitting the form: 

Upload the signed document to the Registrar File Upload through MyPima > Students > Register and Pay 

A Student Account hold may be placed on your account for several reasons: a past due balance from a current or previous term, multiple registration deletions for non-payment, holds related to being in this program or an account that has been passed on to a collection agency. To locate the hold on your account:  Log in to your MyPima > At the bottom of the Quick Links Tab, click on the lower left side of the page > click on the bottom hyperlink that says "more online student services" > Student Records > View Holds. You can contact cc-pearson@pima.edu if you have questions about any of your holds. 

Pima Community College informs its students annually of the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974. This act, with which the institution intends to fully comply, was designated to protect the privacy of educational records, to establish the right of students to inspect and review their education records, and to provide guidelines for the correction of inaccurate or misleading data through informal and formal hearings. Students who wish to grant the College permission to release certain information to a third party or who wish to withhold or release directory information must complete and submit the appropriate form.
