If you are applying as a credit student, you must complete an Application for Admission, available online. There is a $25 non-refundable application fee. Applying online is convenient and quick and will save you a trip to campus. The completed application is valid for one calendar year. If you are returning to Prince George’s Community College after an absence of two years or more, you must submit a new application and fee.
What documents should I have ready?
Most students will only need to fill out and submit the application with payment in order to be admitted. Students under the age of 21 must also submit an official high school transcript or General Educational Development (GED). Applicants under 18 who are not high school graduates must provide a letter from the appropriate educational authority verifying permanent withdrawal from the school system.
NOTE: Applicants seeking entry into any health technology program must provide a complete transcript, copy of the high school diploma, or GED. See additional instructions for non-U.S. citizens who are permanent residents or who will attend the college on an F-1 visa.
How long will it take?
The application is short and should take no more than 30 minutes to complete. You will need to provide personal information (name, address, email, etc.), demographic information (race, ethnic group, Social Security number), and information on your academic background and goals. These are fill-in-the-blank or multiple-choice questions. There is no essay required. After submitting the application, the Admissions Office will contact you using the email address that you provide and inform you of the next steps to becoming a student at Prince George’s Community College.
How much does it cost?
There is a non-refundable application fee of $25, payable with a credit card during the online application process. If you think you are eligible for a waiver of the application fee, contact the Office of Admissions & Records (Bladen Hall, Room 126, Largo campus).
