General Information

Attendance

Our courses require a minimum of 80% attendance in order for participants to receive a Certificate of Completion from South Texas College. In some instances courses have attendance requirements beyond this percentage. Students should always make note of attendance requirements at the beginning of a course via their syllabus or direct conversation with the instructor. Be sure to ask about State Regulated courses that require a specific number of hours to qualify for a certification from a credentialing body.

Continuing Education Units (CEUs) and Course Certificates

South Texas College Center for Advanced Training & Apprenticeships (CATA) is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges (SACSCOC) to award CEUs for some courses. Satisfactory completion of ten clock hours of qualified instruction equals 1.0 CEUs. Transcripts listing CEU credits satisfactorily completed will be available upon request. Otherwise, a certificate of completion is awarded upon course completion.

Course Cancellations

Classes canceled due to low enrollment will result in a 100% refund. CATA staff will make every effort to contact and notify the student of the canceled course. Refunds require 7-10 business days to process.

Financial Aid for CE

Financial aid for Continuing Education is managed through the Texas Public Education Grant (TPEG). Students seeking financial assistance must follow the process outlined on our TPEG Website.

Parking

Continuing Education students are required to apply for a temporary parking permit. Follow the instructions provided on our Parking Permit Website.
