Credit Student Registration - Prince George's Community College

Registration Policy

Students must register for courses prior to the start of the course. Students who fail to meet the registration deadline may still enroll in accelerated course sections that start later in the semester. Students may search for accelerated courses using Owl Link or Navigate.

While the College reserves the right to de-register students for non-payment, it is crucial to follow up on all expected payment sources and ensure the funds have been applied to your account to secure your course selections. This includes student financial aid, outside scholarships, payment plans, and third-party payments. Please note that payment is due upon registration unless otherwise noted.

If you register for classes, you are responsible for all charges.

Failure to pay, failure to officially drop by the refund deadline, or failure to attend will not relieve you of the responsibility for these charges. Non-attendance or failure to pay does not constitute an official withdrawal.

In order to avoid financial responsibility, you must officially drop your classes by the refund deadline if you decide not to attend. Do not assume you will be automatically dropped.

Click the Register button under each course to register individually or the Register Now button in the top right corner to register for all applicable courses in one transaction.

See our askPGCC Knowledge Base for detailed instructions.

Credit students can add themselves to a waitlist for a section that is closed due to reaching capacity. This does not guarantee a seat in the section, and students should plan accordingly. For more information, see Waitlist FAQs.

Students are encouraged to register for classes on their own through myPGCC, but may also submit a registration form to the Office of Records and Registration.

In-Person Registration

Largo Campus

Monday-Friday | 8:30 a.m.-6 p.m.

Students may register in Bladen Hall, Room 126, during our office hours. You can also register in person at our other locations.

Note: The waitlist feature keeps track of students who are waiting for a full seat to open up. However, the waitlist does not guarantee a seat in a course. Students should plan their schedules based on the possibility that a seat will become available.
