Students who do not attend the first-class meeting may be dropped as a “No Show”. Students should not, however, assume they will be dropped. It is the student’s responsibility to officially withdraw from a course through Admissions and Records or online at PVC Services. Refund and drop deadlines for courses are available from Admissions and Records or can be found in the current course Schedule of Classes. If a student is unable to attend the first-class meeting, it is the student’s responsibility to notify the instructor before that class meeting and request that the seat be held. The instructor is under no obligation to honor this request.
The following chart permits the student to estimate the cost of attending Palo Verde College for one school year (nine months). These budgets are intended to include enough money for students depending on lifestyle, priorities and obligations. It is possible to reduce costs in some areas through careful planning.
