In addition, the Office of the Registrar schedules courses, maintains class lists, oversees class registration, provides graduation information, schedules campus facilities and provides statistical reporting for the institution.

Transfer Policy

PCOM considers credit for transfer that is no older than five years and is from a graduate program with regional or national accreditation.  Credit from institutions outside of the United States will be considered if its Ministry of Education or equivalent body officially recognizes the institution.

The full Transfer Policy (7.002) can be found on MyPCOM, Resources section.

Posthumous and In Memorial Degree Policy

Posthumous and In Memoriam degrees recognize the educational achievement of an enrolled student who dies before receiving their program degree and at the same time, upholds academic and institutional integrity.

The full Posthumous and In Memorial Degree policy (7.11) can be found on MyPCOM, Resources section.

Access to student records may be granted to school officials determined to have a legitimate educational interest. The custodian of the records must determine the legitimacy of each request. A school official is determined to have a legitimate educational interest if the information requested is required for that official to perform appropriate tasks that are specified in their position/description or contract/agreement. These include:

1. Performing a task related to the student’s education
2. Providing a service or benefit relating to the student or student’s family, such as health care, counseling, job placement or financial aid

The school official is not authorized to share this information with a third party without the student’s written permission. Such information, when it has fulfilled its original purpose, should be returned to the originating office. All other access to a student’s record is granted in accordance with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act.

Requests for transcripts must come from the student or alumnus and cannot be taken from a third party. Requests cannot not be taken over the phone.
