In an effort to provide equal time to all students, the Advising & Testing office implemented a no-show policy. This policy serves as a reminder to be respectful of fellow students’ time, as advising and registration appointments are in high demand and can be particularly difficult to come by during peak registration periods.
A no-show, or missed appointment, is noted in the system if you:
After three no-shows, a student will be unable to schedule another advising appointment in Navigate and will need to contact their primary advisor via email for advising appointment options.
Email Advising
For general advising questions, you can email us at advising@ppcc.edu. For the quickest service, please include your Student Number in all communications.
