Credit card on file
If you've signed up for auto-renewal, the PIC Online system can "see" your card and use it for Project AWARE cert cards and donations. This card may differ from what's saved in our online shopping cart, or the card you use to place orders with your sales consultant. Please double-check the information.
The website where you input student data is not set up to sell additional PIC online credits. To purchase additional PIC Online credits, please contact a human. We * may * not have the same credit card information.
Using a student's credit card?
At the bottom of the form you'll have the option to enter a student's credit card information for one-time Project AWARE cert cards and donations.
System time out
After 15 minutes of inactivity, your PIC online session will time out. Student information will not be processed or saved. No PIC online credits will be deducted.
Certifying Store Information

To enter certifying store info or referring store information:
- Submit a paper PIC
- Use a PIC online #1 purchased by the store and #2 while logged in as the store.

Student image file
Please use .jpg files that are 300kb in size or smaller. Here is a website you can use to resize images.
If you receive an error message (of any sort), try using the crop tool - even if the image doesn't need to be cropped. Using your mouse, draw a box around the image, this will "select" the photo and usually resolves any error messages.
Purchasing PIC Online
Please call or email your sales consultant to purchase PIC online, it is not possible to order PIC credits from the PIC online data entry system or the online shopping cart.
If you try to order online PICs from the online shopping cart it will charge you for shipping because it doesn't understand a virtual-online product. Please call or email your sales rep to order online PIC credits.
