Over the past several weeks, employees reviewed approximately 3,100 files of student-veterans. The review was mandated after U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs auditors earlier this year found that PCC failed to accurately and promptly report to the VA information about changes in the records of Veterans Benefit Recipients.
After visiting PCC last week and re-examining the College’s updated files, the state found PCC to be “fully in compliance” and will be able to certify new students for the Summer and Fall semesters.
PCC serves approximately 1,400 student-veterans each semester. The College recently opened an expanded Veterans Services Center at its Downtown Campus, has added veterans’ services specialists and has streamlined processes to reduce paperwork student-veterans must file.
