The only time students will be charged additional fees is if the card is lost or needs to be replaced.
Students can obtain a Panther One Card after they have registered for classes by visiting the Welcome Center on the Pueblo Campus or the Go!Zones at the Fremont Campus and Southwest Campus. Photo identification must be presented to obtain an ID card.
Faculty and staff must obtain and display a PCC Id card once they have completed the new hire process through Human Resources.
Step 10: Make Sure You Can Access Your PCC Email Account
This is our primary way to communicate with you. After you become a student, we will not send information to your personal email account.
