Campus Resources

Accessibility Services

The Pitt Community College Office of Accessibility Services (OAS) is committed to equal opportunity for students with disabilities. We believe that students are responsible for their own academic success, but we know that begins with being afforded equal access. In accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, Pitt Community College provides access to higher education for qualified students with disabilities. This ensures an equal opportunity to participate in, contribute to, and benefit from all PCC has to offer.

Students can request accommodations by contacting the Office of Accessibility and providing appropriate documentation about their disability- related needs. All documentation remains confidential. The most appropriate accommodations are determined after consultation with the student, review of documentation and consideration of previous accommodations in accordance with the law. Students with varying disabilities may receive accommodations and services from the point of admission through graduation. There is no cost to the student.

Accommodations that must be planned or arranged prior to the start of classes (such as placement testing, note taker services or interpreter services) should be requested as soon as possible after admission. Students with disabilities must meet the same academic standards as all other students. For additional information about accommodations and services provided, contact the Office of Accessibility Services at (252) 493-7595.

Career Services

Career Services assists students and alumni in career decision making, job search, and professional development. There is no charge for any of these services. In addition, students have access to many of these services through the PCC Career Service’s website.

Career Services helps students to identify interests, values, and abilities to empower their major and career selection. We utilize a variety of resources to assist students with learning about majors, careers, jobs, and internship prospects.

Our office also provides resume and cover letter preparation, practice interviews, and opportunities to connect with employers. Career Services is a liaison between Pitt Community College students and potential employers. All students and alumni are encouraged to use these services. For more information, contact Career Services at (252) 493-7784 or careerservices@email.pittcc.edu

Counseling

Counseling Services

Pitt Community College offers personal, mental health, and academic counseling services to enrolled students. Counseling services are available at no charge to every student from enrollment through graduation.

A student may be dealing with personal issues that are affecting their ability to adapt to the college environment. The counseling staff provides a confidential atmosphere in which the student may discuss these problems. Counselors can help students develop appropriate life skills to cope socially, emotionally, and academically to increase their chances in succeeding in college. Counselors can also make appropriate referrals to community agencies when a student has a long-term counseling need or is in need of additional resources.

Students may also meet with a counselor when they are struggling in their courses. Faculty often refer students for counseling when they realize the student is struggling in their academic performance. Counselors are able to assist students by helping them develop stronger time management skills and study skills. Counselors can refer students to on and off campus resources that can help students become more successful academically, such as tutoring resources. Counselors can also help students get connected to career resources if it is determined the student is struggling with subject areas that reveal a need to change their career pathway.

Students should schedule an appointment for counseling sessions, but it is possible for counselors to see students on a walk-in basis. Counselors are available Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. They are located in the Craig F. Goess Student Center, Suite 170 and their phone number is (252) 493-7809.

Student Assistance Program

Personal Counseling and Mental Health Services for Currently Enrolled Students

Many college students entering PCC face academic pressures, relationship struggles, family difficulties and other personal issues or mental health challenges. College students need options and support for counseling.

Counseling by one of our professional counselors is available for currently enrolled curriculum students in need of counseling. Any instructor or college employee can refer students to the program or a student in need can self-refer to the Student Assistance Program Coordinator. The Student Assistance Program has qualified counselors available on campus. This program works in conjunction with a community agency for additional free counseling services when a student needs extensive therapeutic care.

Student confidentiality is important and protected except in circumstances explained in an established counseling session up front.

Intercollegiate Athletics Program

The mission of Pitt Community College Department of Intercollegiate Athletics is to “Educate and Empower Student Athletes for Success”. PCC Athletics strives to attain this mission by emphasizing the importance of:

  1. Higher Education
  2. Sportsmanship
  3. Character
  4. Life Skills
  5. Community Outreach

It is the philosophy of the athletics department at Pitt Community College that students can best be served in an environment that recognizes the contributions and importance of its faculty and staff. Thus, through the Faculty Senate, Student Government Association (SGA), Athletic Academic Advisory Committee, Athletic Department Advisory Committee and other campus organizations, the athletics program receives faculty, staff, and student feedback and evaluation to determine the effectiveness of the athletics program.

The athletics program meets the unique needs of a diverse group of student-athletes who come from both traditional and nontraditional backgrounds. Intercollegiate athletics include: Baseball, Men’s Basketball, Softball and Volleyball. Pitt Community College accepts its responsibility to provide a fair and equitable process for selecting those who participate in athletic competition.

Pitt Community College believes that athletic participation is a privilege and seeks to provide an environment that is free from drug and substance abuse or any other performance enhancing drugs by any athlete engaged in competition. Student-athletes not only represent themselves and their families, they represent Pitt Community College and we strive for each student-athlete to embrace the responsibility that role entails and carry that label with pride and dignity.

Pitt Community College athletes must abide by the rules and regulations set forth by the Department of Athletics and its coaching staff and are subject to all rules governing the National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) and Region Ten in which we participate. Student-athletes must maintain a minimum grade point average, which meets or exceeds the NJCAA requirements for participation as well as guidelines set forth by the Athletic Department and Pitt Community College. PCC Athletics is committed to providing the best opportunities for our student-athletes that will allow individual growth and team success as well as create opportunities. Additionally, athletes must communicate with faculty regarding scheduled events, which will involve being absent from class(es) and must be responsible for making up class work in a timely manner. Athletes are subject to the same academic requirements as all other students pertaining to admission, academic standing, and graduation requirements. No academic exceptions are made for student-athletes at Pitt Community College.

Code of Conduct for Intercollegiate Student-Athletes (adopted from Pursuing Victory with Honor, Six Pillars of Character)

We believe that athletic competition should demonstrate high standards of ethics and sportsmanship and promote development of good character and other important life skills. We also believe that the highest potential of sports is achieved when participants are committed to pursuing victory with honor. The six-core principles are:

  1. Trustworthiness - be worthy in all you do.
  2. Respect - treat all people with respect all the time and require the same of other student-athletes.
  3. Responsibility - be a student first and be committed to receiving the best education you can.
  4. Fairness - live up to high standards of fair play, open-mindedness and willingness to listen and learn.
  5. Caring - demonstrate concern for others.
  6. Citizenship - play by the rules and honor the spirit of the rules.

Campus Watch Program

Safety is everyone’s responsibility.

Campus Watch counts on students, faculty, and staff to organize themselves and works with PCC Campus Police to keep a trained eye and ear on their college campus, while demonstrating their presence at all times. Campus Watch works because it reduces opportunities for crime to occur and does not rely on altering or changing the criminal’s behavior or motivation. PCC Campus Police and the Division of Student Development Services ask all students, faculty, and staff to collaborate in a PCC Campus Watch Program with an emphasis on crime prevention, warning signs, emergency preparedness and response systems. While many faculty and staff are excellent about contacting the Campus Police to report suspicious activities/persons, this program enlists more eyes and ears for a safer campus.

If there is a specific campus closure due to a circumstance other than inclement weather (gas leak, power outage, etc.) campuses and other college locations not impacted should continue to hold classes as scheduled.

If the college is closed, online classes may continue as scheduled, including online portions of hybrid and blended classes. If the college’s Learning Management System (LMS) becomes inaccessible or widespread power outages occur, assignment due dates may be extended at the discretion of the instructor and/or division dean.

Late openings will start with classes normally taught at that hour. Students should report to their assigned class scheduled at that time. For example, if the college opens at 10:00 a.m. and a student’s assigned class begins at 9:30, the student should report to that class at 10:00 a.m.

Curriculum and continuing education classes that are missed or not held for any reason, including inclement weather, will be rescheduled or the instruction will be made up by another alternative and documented on the Missed Class Make-Up Form. Alternatives may include extra class sessions, extended class sessions, individual conferences, alternate assignments, or other options approved by the college’s administration. The approved make-up schedule will be given to the deans for distribution.

Classes that must make up time using an alternate make-up day should abide by the following conditions:

  • Instructors requesting to meet for class make up on a holiday or during a college closure may do so only with prior written approval from the Vice President of Academic Affairs and Continuing Education.
  • Space must be scheduled through the scheduling office prior to make-up meeting day.

College closure may change the census date of a class(es); however, the census date will only change when absolutely necessary. If there is ample time to make up class time prior to census, the census date will not change.

Student Conduct in Online Courses, Discussions, and Chat Rooms

The instructor’s responsibility for managing online student behavior is no different from managing student behavior in a traditional classroom setting. Disruptive, intimidating, or uncivil student conduct that interferes with classroom procedures, the presentation of the instructor or other students, and another student’s right to pursue coursework in the online environment, is a violation of the Pitt Community College Student Code of Conduct Policy.

Instructors have ultimate control over online classroom behavior and may temporarily dismiss or remove from the classroom any student engaged in disruptive conduct. Consideration of the temporary suspension from the class must be discussed with the department chair or dean, and the Senior Director of Student Advocacy, and/or Assistant Vice President of Student Support before a student is permanently removed from the class for conduct reasons.

PCC Campus Police, or other appropriate law enforcement entities, should be informed immediately if an online student communicates a threat or discloses that they are considering harming themselves or others.

Conduct Sanctions

Students who are found responsible for violating the Student Code of Conduct Policy will be sanctioned. These sanctions are accompanied with a specific conduct status based on the nature of the violation. These conduct statuses are as follows:

  1. Conduct Warning
  2. Conduct Probation
  3. Conduct Dismissal (Suspension/Expulsion) - A student may be dismissed (suspended or expelled) from the College for conduct which is not in the best interest of the student, or of the College. Suspension is a temporary dismissal from the College for a designated period of time, which includes no trespassing on any sites operated by the College until the suspension term is complete, and the student disciplinary hold is removed. Expulsion is a permanent dismissal from the College, which includes no trespassing on any sites operated by the College. Suspended students who successfully petition their return to the College are immediately placed on conduct probation. If a student is dismissed (suspended or expelled), notification will be provided to the following: the student, Campus Police, and the President’s Leadership Team. The President’s Leadership Team is also informed to share this information with employees within their respective divisions.

Students that are sanctioned may also be subject to restrictions, obligations, and/or assigned tasks specific to their conduct violations. These restrictions, obligations and/or assigned tasks include but are not limited to no trespassing, no-contact orders, restitution, educational tasks, community service, and counseling. Students who fail to comply with the sanction guidelines that have been issued will have a disciplinary hold placed on their account, until their sanction(s) are complete.
