Q: I have a student ID but I still can't register, what do I do?

• Does your student ID number start with @00, or is it a CCC ID?
• If it is a CCC ID, you have not completed your application. You must log into your CCC account and complete the application.
• If your CCC account states your Porterville College application is submitted, then you must go to PC's Apply page, select “Activate your CCCApply application here” at the bottom of the page, and enter in your CCC ID number.
• If your student ID number does start with @00, then you must check your registration date.

That 4-digit number is any set of number you want to have included in your email. If you cannot decide, enter the year you were born.

Q: How do I take my placement test?

We no longer offer placement tests, now we review your high school transcripts (regardless of when you graduated), and give you placement based on your G.P.A.

Q: I was placed in a linked math and/or English course, what does that mean?

• That means, based off of your transcripts, we think a support class would benefit you in completing math or English.
• You will take English 101A and you will also take English 01AX to assist you in completing English 101A. You must register for both of these when registering for classes.

Q: How do I register for the linked courses?

• If you were placed in a linked course, you will search for the support course. Once you find the support course with a time that you like, you will click on the CRN code.
• Once you click on the CRN code, you should see on the page the corresponding CRN code for the main class.
• Write both CRN codes down and register for them both at the same time.

Q: I'm registered for classes, what now?
