Important Policies

Emergency College Closings/Delayed Openings

It is the practice of the college to hold all regular classes on all days scheduled on the college calendar. Should an emergency arise that requires the cancellation of classes and activities, students may learn of the delay or cancellation in several ways.

• Visit the college’s website, www.pgcc.edu. The cancellation/closure/delay will be prominently displayed on the home page.
• Students who sign up for Owl Alert, the college’s free instant messaging service, will have notice of the closure sent to their cell phone as either a voice or text message or to the preferred e-mail address shortly after the decision to close or delay has been made.
• Call the college’s main number, 301-546-7422, and listen to the recorded message. Closures and delays will be included.

In addition, the following radio stations will be asked to announce the college’s closing shortly after the decision is made: WBAL 1090 AM, WMAL 105.9, WNEW 99.1 FM, and WTOP 103.5. The following TV stations will be asked to announce the closing: CH 2 WMAR (ABC), CH 4 WRC (NBC), CH 5 FOX, CH 7 WJLA (ABC 7 News), CH 8 (NewsChannel), CH 9 WUSA, CH 11 WBAL, and CH 13 WJZ.

In case of hazardous weather, degree/extension center classes held at local public school locations will be canceled when the Prince George’s County Board of Education announces that the public schools will be closed. Other sites, such as Andrews Air Force Base, the Laurel College Center, and the University Town Center in Hyattsville, will follow the Largo campus weather schedule. If the Largo campus closes as a result of inclement weather, classes at degree/extension centers and sites will be canceled.

When the college announces a delayed opening, all classes with at least 45 minutes of class time remaining at the time of the opening will be held. For example, in the event of a 10 a.m. opening, a 9:30-10:45 a.m. class will be held. This procedure applies to all credit classes.

Student Residency Policy

It is the policy of the Board of Trustees of Prince George’s Community College to distinguish, for tuition purposes, among students who are residents of Prince George’s County, students who are residents of Maryland but not of Prince George’s County, and students who are residents outside the state of Maryland so that out-of-county students shall pay tuition as established by the Board of Trustees in accordance with Education Article 16-407(b), Annotated Code of Maryland, and out-of-state students shall pay tuition as established by the Board of Trustees in accordance with Education Article 16-407(a), Annotated Code of Maryland. In determining student residency, the following definitions apply:

• Maryland resident means a student who maintains his or her legal domicile in Maryland and has done so for a period of not less than three months before the date of his or her enrollment at the college. To be considered a Maryland resident for the purposes of this policy, the student shall possess the legal capacity under state and federal law to establish Maryland domicile or shall be a dependent of someone who may do so.
• Out-of-state student means a student who is not a Maryland resident or is a non-citizen who has failed to provide documentation of visa or permanent resident status.
• Out-of-county student means a student who is a Maryland resident but is not a resident of Prince George’s County.
• In-county student means a student who maintains his or her legal domicile in Prince George’s County and who has done so for a period of not less than three months before the date of his or her enrollment at the college or who is a dependent of someone who has maintained such domicile. For the purpose of tuition and fees only, in-county student also means a Maryland resident or a dependent of a resident who does not reside in Prince George’s County, who enrolls at the college in an instructional program designated as a Statewide Program or a Health Manpower Shortage Program.
• Domicile means a person’s permanent place of abode, where physical presence and possessions are maintained, and where a person intends to remain indefinitely. The domicile of a person who received more than one-half of his or her financial support from others in the most recently completed year is the domicile of the person contributing the greatest proportion of support without regard to whether the parties are related by blood or marriage. This definition does not apply to those who do not have the legal capacity under state or federal law to establish domicile in the state or country. At the time of admission to or initial enrollment in any course at the college, each student shall sign a statement affirming domicile and the factual basis for the claim of domicile. An electronic signature is considered to be as official as one signed on paper. At the time of each subsequent enrollment, each student will indicate whether current domicile is the same as or different from that affirmed at initial enrollment. If facts indicate the domicile has changed, the student shall complete a new statement. Students who fail to report a change of address which results in the return of official college mail will not be allowed to enroll in classes until proof of the new domicile has been received. Students have the burden of proving domicile when asked to do so, and the college will request two or more acceptable proofs of domicile. Students asked to provide proof of domicile who cannot do so will be considered out-of-state for tuition purposes.

 The college will consider documentation of any or all of the following as evidence or proof of residence:

• Documented ownership or rental of local living quarters for a period of three months or more.
• Substantially uninterrupted physical presence, including the months when the student is not in attendance at the college.
• Maintenance in Maryland and in the county of all, or substantially all, of the student’s possessions.
• Payment of state and local piggyback income taxes on all taxable income earned, including all taxable income earned outside the state.
• Registration to vote in the state and county.
• Registration of a motor vehicle in the state, with a local address specified, if the student owns or uses such a vehicle.

In addition to the general requirements above, the following provisions apply to Veterans and the following individuals shall be charged a rate of tuition not to exceed the in-state rate for tuition and fees purposes:

• A Veteran using educational assistance under either chapter 30 (Montgomery G.I. Bill - Active Duty Program) or chapter 33 (Post-9/11 G.I. Bill), of title 38, United States Code, who lives in Maryland while attending a school located in Maryland (regardless of his/her formal State of residence) and enrolls in the school within three years of discharge or release from a period of active duty service of 90 days or more.
• Anyone using transferred Post-9/11 G.I. Bill benefits (38 U.S.C. § 3319) who lives in Maryland while attending a school located in Maryland (regardless of his/her formal State of residence) and enrolls in the school within three years of the transferor’s discharge or release from a period of active duty service of 90 days or more.
• Anyone described above while he or she remains continuously enrolled (other than during regularly scheduled breaks between courses, semesters, or terms) at the same school. The person so described must have enrolled in the school prior to the expiration of the three year period following discharge or release as described above and must be using educational benefits under either chapter 30 or chapter 33, of title 38, United States Code.
• Anyone using benefits under the Marine Gunnery Sergeant John David Fry Scholarship (38 U.S.C. § 3311(b)(9)) who lives in Maryland while attending a school located in Maryland (regardless of his/her formal State of residence).
• Anyone using transferred Post-9/11 G.I. Bill benefits (38 U.S.C. § 3319) who lives in Maryland while attending a school located in Maryland (regardless of his/her formal state of residence) and the transferor is a member of the uniformed service who is serving on active duty.
• The policy shall be read to be amended as necessary to be compliant with the requirements of 38 U.S.C. 3679(c) as amended.
• Honorably discharged veterans, active duty service members, financially dependent children of active duty members, and members of the National Guard who reside or are domiciled in the state of Maryland will be charged in-county or in-state tuition for coursework at the college.

In addition to the general requirements above, the following provisions apply to the specific categories of students indicated:

• Individuals who have the legal capacity to establish Maryland residency may not be precluded from being awarded Maryland residency because of their immigration status.
• A student enrolled in a program designated as Statewide or Health Manpower Shortage Programs may be considered a county resident for tuition purposes if domiciled in Maryland.
• A student from outside the state who enrolls as part of a reciprocity agreement negotiated between Maryland and another state may be considered a resident for tuition purposes.

Notwithstanding any other provision, the college may enter into a contract with a business or industry that maintains facilities, operates, or does business in the state, to provide education or training for company employees for a set contractual fee in place of payment of tuition under the following conditions:

• The employee is enrolled in credit or noncredit courses that will benefit the employer.
• The company pays the fee charged by the college.
• The fee reasonably reflects the usual costs borne by students in the same or similar courses.
• The employees enrolled under this program shall be treated as any other student in accordance with college policies and procedures of the Maryland Higher Education Commission with the exception of payment of tuition.

Special Admission Policy: Nursing and Allied Health

A criminal background check and drug screen are required of all students in the health science clinical programs. Social security numbers will be verified as part of the background check. Continued participation in each program is contingent upon a satisfactory response on the background check and drug screen. All information on the background check and drug screen remains confidential. If a clinical agency denies clinical placement for a student because of the background check or drug screen, that student may not be able to complete the clinical program. The cost of the criminal background check and drug screen are the responsibility of the student. Specific information related to the process used for obtaining a criminal background check and drug screen will be discussed with students at orientation. For a current price of the criminal background check and drug screen, please contact AlliedHealthandNursingOffice@pgcc.edu. Students, at their own expense, may also be required to submit to random urine drug testing at clinical sites. Results of random urine drug testing may result in the student not being able to complete the clinical program.

All students in health science clinical programs are required to submit a completed health assessment form, verifying general health, immunization status, and ability to meet the program’s technical standards. Students with incomplete health records on file with the college will not be able to complete the clinical program. It is required that all health sciences clinical students carry health insurance. Each student must provide documentation of current health insurance coverage prior to the first day of classes. It is the responsibility of the student to maintain health insurance coverage while enrolled in the program. Before being assigned to a clinical agency, students may be required to show to the agency proof of current health insurance. It will be the clinical agency, not the college that will make any final determination about clinical placement. If a clinical agency denies clinical placement for a student because of lack of health insurance, that student may not be able to complete the clinical program.
