Admissions

Definitely consider Pierce College as a main choice. As a community college, the staff is very friendly and are always willing to help you get to the next step in your educational career. The resources available to you are vast and wide so you'll never get stuck.

Know what you want/need.
Find out what degree you want and what classes you need, because you will get little to no help from the office and advising staff.
Make an academic plan, and if you plan to transfer, start getting connected with any prospective schools to find out what they require of you, so you don't waist time and money.

I refer potential students to Pierce College regularly.

Ask questions if your unsure, they have answers for all your questions and more.

1) Look into the TRiO program, especially if you are a first-generation college student. They help you find funds for tuition, and can help you find job opportunities later. Also, put the career center to good use. 2) Make friends with the financial aid department. I was able to get extensions for my payments when I knew it was gonna be late, all because I was cheerful and friendly. 3) Talk with an adviser regularly. They can help you find a path and make a plan for it, even if it's not in their department.
