Pikes Peak Community College offers classes that will easily transfer to the Community College of the Air Force.  To apply for admission, follow the instructions below.  To view class schedules and/or the catalog, click on the links at the bottom of the page.

1. Meet with your Air Force Education Advisor at the Peterson Air Force Base Education Center. At this meeting you will receive information concerning your CCAF degree program or information concerning a degree at a local college such as PPCC. 

2. Fill out a PPCC application

• Return to the PPCC home page – www.ppcc.edu.
• Click on "perspective student."
• Click on “Application”; then at STEP 2 click on "Apply Online Now."
• Click on “Create New Account", then click on “New, Transfer or Re-Admit Students” screen follow the instructions to Apply for Admission.  When the application is completed, print out a copy for your records.
• NOTE: If you are attending PPCC to complete your CCAF degree, please choose “Non-Degree Seeking” for your degree status. Also, choose “Non-Degree Seeking” if you are taking classes to transfer to another institution or for personal reasons. If you are seeking a degree with PPCC then choose the degree you are interested in obtaining.

3. Once you have submitted the PPCC online application, you may need to take the PPCC Placement Test. However, if you have previous college credit, you can take an unofficial copy of your transcript to the PPCC Centennial Campus Test Center (room A117). Your transcript will be reviewed for college level English and Math classes. If accepted, you will not be required to take the Placement Test. However, you will be required to follow the prerequisite course requirements. 

4. If you are not a Colorado resident, you must then go to your main base/post Education Center office to pick up your Green Form (Tuition Classification Certification Form). Turn this form in at the PPCC military programs on-base office for processing. The Green Form grants in-state tuition. Simply turn in this one page form one time per semester to start receiving your in-state tuition.

5. You must register for the College Opportunity Fund (COF). To sign up for COF, print out a paper application from the COF website and submit it to our office, or visit our office in person to fill out the one-time application.

6. If you are planning on receiving a degree from PPCC then your next step is to visit the New Student Scheduling Center (room A204). At this center you will meet with a PPCC academic advisor to discuss your PPCC degree plan. After this meeting, you can register for classes. CCAF degree seeking students do not need to meet with a PPCC advisor. You can then apply for your Tuition Assistance through the Air Force portal.   

If you have any questions, please call the Peterson AFB PPCC office at 719.502.4300.
