Every student is responsible for keeping the College informed of changes to name, address, phone numbers, and email address as soon as they occur.
Address, Email, and Phone Number Changes
Address, phone number, and changes may be submitted in Owl Link. Changes may also be made by completing the Personal Information Update form and emailing it to registrar@pgcc.edu or submitting it in person to the Office of Records and Registration in Bladen Hall, Room 126.
Please note: Post office boxes may be used as mailing addresses, but cannot be used as a legal address for residency purposes. Students who wish to receive College mail at a post office box must also submit proof of legal residence before the post office box can be used.
Mail or emails returned to the College as non-deliverable because of an incorrect address will result in a hold being placed on the student’s record until the address has been verified with appropriate documentation.
Name Changes
Name changes may be submitted by completing the Personal Information Update form and emailing it to registrar@pgcc.edu or submitting it in person to the Office of Records and Registration in Bladen Hall, Room 126.
Please note: Requests for name changes must be accompanied by a clear, legible copy of legal supporting documentation such as a marriage license, divorce decree, or court order, as well as an additional government-issued document that reflects the name change, such as a driver's license or passport.
Adding or Updating a Social Security Number or Tax Identification Number
Prince George’s Community College does not use the Social Security number (SSN) as a primary student identification number (SID); each student is issued a unique student SID for identification purposes. The SSN is also not required for general admission.
The College is required to collect and report the SSN for all students who register for credit classes, apply for financial aid, use veterans benefits, use the state disability waiver, and receive DoD tuition assistance.
Social Security Numbers may be added or updated by completing the Verification of SSN or TIN form electronically. Alternatively, students may download the Verification of SSN or TIN form and submit it in person, along with a copy of the Social Security card or Tax Identification Number notice, to the Office of Records and Registration in Bladen Hall, Room 126. It is not recommended that documents that include a Social Security Number/Tax Identification Number are emailed.
Please note: Requests to add or update a Social Security Number must always be accompanied by a clear, legible copy of the Social Security card or the Tax Identification Number notice from the federal government.
