FAQs
Accordingly, with the Guidelines for Instructional Programs in Workforce Education, a Continuing Education (CE) certificate program consists of workforce knowledge and skills identified in the same manner as those in credit programs. All CE certificate programs must be listed in the college’s approved inventory of programs and must be transcripted.
The colleges in the Alamo Colleges District provide students the opportunity to receive equivalent college semester credit hours earned through Advanced Placement and non-traditional means; CE-2-Credit is offered by the Continuing Education Division. The colleges in the Alamo Colleges District, with appropriate departmental guidelines, reserve the right to determine the acceptable transfer credit to a maximum of forty-five (45) semester credit hours once the student has earned six (6) college semester credit hours at any of the colleges in the Alamo Colleges District.
Competencies for the continuing education courses meet those required of courses in the course inventory under the direction of the college’s Dean for Academic Success and approval by the Academic Vice President. The qualifications of the CE Instructors also meet the prescribed Academic standards.
