Continuing Education provides noncredit training and educational opportunities to the community as well as local industry. Upon successful completion of required contact hours in a CE course, a student will receive a certificate of completion and CEUs rather than college credit. One CEU is equal to 10 contact hours of successful completion in Continuing Education course or program. CE classes may be listed on a college transcript but do not effect students GPA.

Completing an ApplyTexas application is not required for enrollment in CE courses or programs. Some CE programs require an application and additional documents for acceptance. Please refer to each individual program for a list of requirements. 

For a current list of CE offerings visit the CE Schedule page.

Based on the Federal IRS tax laws, Continuing Education tuition does not qualify for a 1098T tax credit.

A mirror course provides students who are not seeking a certification or degree with the opportunity to obtain training and master learning objectives covered in a credit course but as a noncredit student. Students who mirror a course will earn CEUs and a certificate of completion rather than college credit. Attendance in all class sessions, participation in classroom lecture/discussion, and completion of assignments/assessments are expected. Student enrollment will follow the CE registration process and students will not be required to apply through Apply Texas or be TSI (Texas Success Initiative) satisfied. To register for a mirror course, an individual selects the specific course and section then contacts the Continuing Education Department.
