History[]
Overboard to beg forgiveness (2023)
In 2013, Caleb Morley murdered Professor Jay Mosser in his PCU office. John McBain, Rafe Kovich Jr., and Lucy Coe later entered the sealed room and used the professor's extensive library to investigate the history of vampire lore associated with the Morley family.
On March 23, 2022, Cameron Webber and Josslyn Jacks are victims of a crime when Esme Prince secretly filmed them sex and it's made public in one of their sociology classes with Professor Khan. A student named Bryan shares the video with the class by casting it onto the professor's screen. Josslyn yells for it to be shut off and Khan closed her laptop which doesn't stop the video. Cameron goes up and turns off the video. Khan later apologizes to Josslyn and Cameron about freezing up when the video was shown. She says that Bryan will be punished for sharing the video with the class and she suggests that the couple be more careful with their personal recordings.
Trina is accepted to The Sorbonne art program abroad, but she claims can't go. Classes are about to start and she wants to be there for her father Curtis' treatment. Her boyfriend Spencer Cassadine argues she can't miss this opportunity, and she has to go. Trina suggests he could come with her, though quickly thinks that would be impossible for him to leave his little brotherAce Cassadine behind, but he says he can easily fly back on weekends to see him. He says, "When the woman you love invites you to Paris, you say yes!"
Unfortunately, their first night in Paris ends in disaster when his villainous ex Esme attacks them on their boat on the Seine. To protect her, Spencer ends up going overboard and taking Esme with him - with the authorities declaring them both deceased. Both the Sorbonne and PCU tell Trina she can defer and they will be waiting for her to decide when she's ready to attend.
In 2024, Gio Palmieri transferred from Fordham University to PCU. He plays violin and plans to play in PCU's Summer Festival.
On September 17, Trina's great-auntStella Henry convinces her to return to PCU and keep her life moving. She agrees and re-enrolls.
Dormitories[]

There is onsite housing, and Josslyn Jacks and Trina Robinson roomed together in the dorms. In November 2022, Josslyn hid an injured Dex Heller in her and Trina's dorm for several days while he recovered from a gunshot wound and car accident. Adam lives down the hall from Josslyn and Trina in the dorm. Summer of 2024, Joss and Trina move into an off-campus apartment above the garage on the Quartermaine estate. Gio himself was invited to live inside the mansion, which he does to be closer to his cousins Lois Cerullo and Brook Lynn Quartermaine, but visits the girls often.
Former staff includes Dr. Pete Marquez and Parker Forsyth as former professors, and Shawn Butler as a former academic counselor. The late Gregory Chase (history & journalism), was a professor until 2022 fall semester.
