CE Pathways & Credentials of Value

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.

• Successfully complete CE to Credit eligible course(s)
• Be enrolled in an Alamo Colleges academic program that is aligned with the Continuing Education credit being requested.
• Have completed at least 6 semester credit hours within the elected program

Students who completed any Continuing Education courses are able to access their student ACES account and view/print/request an official Alamo Colleges CE Transcript. Steps to request a transcript are found here https://www.alamo.edu/experience-the-alamo-colleges/current-students/transcripts-and-records/

Grades will be posted as CR and not included in the GPA. Credit by non-traditional means may not be awarded once a grade has been earned in the same course, excluding I and W. For the purpose of articulating Continuing Education (CE) to Academic credit, the CE grading system is aligned with present year academic standards.

There is no assessment of charges to the student for posting the approved courses on the student’s transcript.

Students are encouraged to consult with an academic counselor/assigned certified advisor about pursuing or enrolling in a two-year degree program, planning to transfer to another institution of higher education, or simply taking a few selected courses. In addition to course and degree requirements, policies and procedures are subject to change. Students are encouraged to stay informed of any changes that may affect them by meeting with an academic counselor/assigned certified advisor regularly. Alamo College advising centers will help you find the classes for your schedule and degree plan. https://www.alamo.edu/academics/academic-resources/advising/
