Military Times Best: Colleges 2019
Pikes Peak Community College has been recognized by MilitaryTimes.com as making the "Best Colleges" list for 2019. MilitaryTimes.com creates its rankings based off multiple factors including cost, student support, and academic quality.
Pikes Peak Community College has been awarded the Bronze distinction.
The bronze distinction is for colleges with exceptional military and veteran programs. The Military Friendly® list provides a comprehensive guide for veterans and their families using data from federal agencies, public sources and proprietary survey information from participating institutions.

Military & Veterans Programs is accepting VA Work Study applications for our Centennial office. Must be using VA Education Benefits and enrolled at 3/4 time or more.
The MVP Mentoring Veteran Peers program fosters a supportive environment and connects incoming veteran students with a successful peer mentor. Mentors understand the unique challenges that the veteran population face. We offer social and academic support, and serve as a liaison to campus and community resources.
Mentees are welcome to apply. Our need for mentors is currently met.
We will take your used books and lend them to other military-connected students in need. Textbooks are free to check out every semester and must be returned the week after finals.
Our library has been stocked 100% by donations from the PPCC campus community. You can help us develop our library by donating your old textbooks. The larger the collection the more veterans and dependents we can help. If you would like to donate, bring your old textbooks to MVP (C222) at any of our locations anytime during business hours.
If you are in need of a book, please follow the steps below:
Request access.
Once we receive your request, we will send you a link to sign up for our online library powered by Librarika where you can view all the available books and place a reservation request.
Once you request the book, we will email you whether your book(s) are or are not available to be picked up within 2 business days.
Books are first come, first served. Placing a reservation request does not confirm availability. We cannot ship books to students. You must be able to pick them up in person at the Centennial Campus (C222). If you do not pick up your book(s) within 2 business days of notification, we will issue them to the next student in the queue.
You can place reservation requests for summer now, however they will not be processed until May 17th.
If you have any questions, please email svo@ppcc.edu
