Our First Year Experience OPEN HOUSE is a chance for new students to visit our campus with friends and family and learn about different programs and services at PCC. During the Open House we also provide workshops where you can complete the steps needed to enroll and visit our Campus Resource Fair.

At our CAMPUS RESOURCE FAIR you can connect with representatives from service centers, empowerment programs, career communities, and other groups so that you start on the right path and learn how to make the most of the amazing opportunities PCC has to offer.

  • If you have any questions, email us at pathways@pasadena.edu, reach out on Instagram @pcc_pathways, or come to the Pathways FYE center (V100) Monday - Friday | 8am - 5pm.
