Tuition Appeal Guidelines:
Read Carefully Before Submission
Tuition Appeal should be completed when a student had to stop attending or withdraw from their courses after the drop date due to emergency circumstances and/or unforeseen financial hardship. If approved, this appeal can result in a full or partial tuition refund. Other fees, books and course material cost may still apply.
The Tuition Appeal Committee cannot resolve instructor or course dissatisfaction complaints. Please contact the Instructional Division to request an investigation and follow their recommendation.
Due to record destruction requirements, the college may not be able to process tuition appeals that are more than 5 years old.
Military, Veterans and Military dependents, please contact mvp@ppcc.edu BEFORE submitting a Tuition Appeal. An approved appeal may result in significant debt for you.
If you have questions, please email tuitionappeal@ppcc.edu.
