Admission Guidelines

Admission

Applicants with deficiencies in their documents may be admitted on a temporary basis. Submission of all documents must be done within the next four (4) months of acceptance into the graduate program. All credentials submitted in support of the application for enrollment form part of the college records at the Registrar's Office. The Program Director evaluates and decides on the application. When admission is declared on probation, the student's compliance to the requirements will be monitored by the Program Director as basis for retention in the program.

Old Students

For old students, at the beginning of the semester/trimester, they must obtain from the Graduate Office what subjects are opened for enrollment. For walk-in old students, the class schedules are posted in the Graduate Office bulletin board and the official PIC website. Before enrollment, old students must find out from the Graduate Office if their grades in the preceding semester/trimester were already encoded by the faculty. Students can enroll in subjects with a maximum of twelve (12) units per semester/trimester and nine (9) units during summer and must pay to validate their ID.

Transferees

Transferees are required to bring a copy of their undergraduate and graduate Transcript of Records (TOR). Graduate credits earned from other schools will be evaluated and validated by the Program Director. Transferees must submit all the requirements similar to those of new applicants enumerated above. The Program Director evaluates and decides on the application.

Resident Aliens

Requirements for resident aliens are the same as for new students or transferees. In addition, they must submit two (2) photocopies of the Alien Certificate of Registration (ACR) or Immigrant Certificate of Registration (ICR).

Important Things to Remember

  • Unlike traditional education, online learning requires more self-discipline from students.
  • Inform PIC if you have updated information from your submitted application form (for example, contact information or last name).
  • Remember the deadlines for homework submissions and payment schedules.
  • Contact info@pic.education for any questions or concerns. The team will be glad to assist you.

Emails

Email addresses are important in an online education environment. Make sure that you are sending your requirements, questions, or concerns to the proper department to ensure an accurate and swift response.

International Students

PIC-USA welcomes international learners from around the world. International applicants are encouraged to prepare English translations of academic records and valid passport information.

Our admissions office provides guidance on document submission, time zone considerations for online classes, and tuition payment options in international currencies.

How to Pay

Once your admission has been confirmed, tuition and fees can be paid using several convenient methods:

  • Bank Deposit or wire transfer.
  • Credit or debit card payments through approved payment partners.
  • Other payment channels coordinated with the PIC-Guam USA Finance Department.

Please keep your official receipt and email a copy to the Finance Department as proof of payment.

Tuition Fees, Payments and Scholarship

Tuition Fee Assessment Procedure

Pacific InterContinental College (PIC) uses a term-based assessment whether students enroll in a thesis or non-thesis program. For graduate Masters programs, the total term to finish the whole program is typically 5 to 6 terms. Students who submit their academic records for evaluation shall pay the Selection Fee before the corresponding assessment will be issued. A student who fails to pay tuition fees for two consecutive terms/semesters without written notice may be delisted from the student listing and is no longer entitled to receive documents from PIC such as school academic records.

Tuition and Other Fees

The schedule of tuition and other fees may be paid either in full at the start of the semester/term or as a down payment of sixty percent (60%) upon enrollment and another forty percent (40%) before the mid-term exam.

Tuition and Fees

  • Cash, personal check, or manager's check are accepted.
  • For security reasons, payment by check is encouraged.
  • Post-dated, state-dated, and overstated checks are not accepted.
  • The following must be written clearly on the back of the check: student's full name, ID number, course/college, telephone or mobile number, and home address.
  • The Accounting Office will automatically cancel the official receipt of checks that are returned or dishonored by the bank for any reason.
  • Replacement for returned or dishonored checks shall be in cash or manager's check and shall be paid directly to the Cashier at the Accounting Office.

Full Payment Requirement

Full payment is required for the following students:

  • Total tuition and fees for freshmen, transferees, and cross-enrollees for the term must be paid in full.
  • Graduating students.
  • Students in all year levels enrolled during summer classes.

Methods of Payment and Surcharges

The following surcharges apply when tuition fees are not paid in full:

  • Additional 27.00 USD (as surcharge/penalty) in the first term if the tuition fee is not paid in full.
  • Additional 54.00 USD (as surcharge/penalty) in the second term if the tuition fee is not paid in full.
  • Additional 108.00 USD (as surcharge/penalty) in the third term if the tuition fee is not paid in full.
  • Additional 163.00 USD (as surcharge/penalty) in the fourth term if the tuition fee is not paid in full.
  • PIC will give a one-month grace period after the term ends to pay the tuition fee without surcharge. Failure to pay within this period will automatically add the surcharge without further notice.

Note: Late payment, installment, and surcharges are separate assessments. Students paying on an installment basis who fail to pay the balance by the stipulated deadline may be allowed to complete the remainder of the term; however, they will not be allowed to enroll for the next trimester and their transcript of records and transfer credentials, certifications, and other documents will be withheld until the balance is fully paid. A surcharge will also be imposed upon payment of the balance.

Late Payment Fees

a. On the Initial Payment: A deadline is set for paying the fees without surcharge. A Late Registration Fee (LRF) is imposed if payment is made after the deadline.

  • Start of classes: 10.00 USD
  • Second week: 16.00 USD
  • Third week: 21.00 USD
  • Beyond third week: 21.00 USD + 5.00 USD per working day of delay

b. Students with scholarships are also subject to late payment fees. Only the Cashier at the Accounting Office is authorized by the College to receive payments. Payments made to unauthorized persons will not be honored.

Late payment deadlines (sample):
January Term: April 15
May Term: August 15
September Term: December 15
