All private career schools must complete the 2020 Annual Report by Friday, December 11, 2020.

THE 2020 ANNUAL REPORT DATA WEB CENTER IS NOW LIVE. Access it through this link: https://pcsdata.mhec.maryland.gov/MHECPCSWEB/Login.aspx

NOTE: the "Notify MHEC" email link on the School Page is not working. Please send any notifications to pcsannualreport.mhec@maryland.gov.

Student Enrollment, Completion, and Employment Template (2020) (EXCEL). NOTE: It is preferable to input student data directly into the website rather than using the template. Formatting errors have been known to occur when schools copy and paste data into the template.
