Additional Information

  • All received grades for College Early courses become a permanent part of the student’s PUC transcript. Unofficial transcripts can be downloaded through Flashlight. Official transcripts can be requested from the Records office.
  • The College Early reduced tuition rate does not apply to Adventist Colleges Abroad, flight training courses, private music lessons, audited courses, or directed study courses.
  • In addition to applicable College Early tuition charges, there are established fees associated with certain courses (e.g. materials fees for Visual Arts courses).
  • Because tuition for College Early is already at a reduced rate, PUC employee discounts for children of faculty and staff members do not apply.
  • See page 221 in the General Catalog for an overview of the current fee structure and information on fees for withdrawing from a course after the published drop date.
