Continuing Education (CE) FAQs
Are there any special requirements
to register for CE classes?
What is a CEU?
Some CE classes do have special requirements, and therefore, you must
register in person. These classes include all Health Sciences classes,
Commercial Truck Driving, and Driver Education.
A CEU (Continuing Education Unit) is 10 contact hours of
participation in an organized, non-credit continuing education
experience. Therefore, one CEU is awarded for every 10 hours of
training completed.
How do I pay for classes?
How am I notified if a class is cancelled?
Payment is due upon registration. If payment is not received within 24
hours after registration, your registration may be purged. Walk-in registrants
may pay in person with cash, check, or credit card. Those who register
by phone may use a credit card or check. Students who fax or email their
registration should include credit card payment information on the form.
There are two primary ways—by phone and by email. Therefore, it
is very important that in filling out your registration form, you list a
current phone number and email that you check frequently.
If you register online, you will be prompted to pay with a credit card
during the registration process. If you choose not to pay at this time, your
registration will not be processed.
When should I register?
Registration for CE classes begins when classes are published online or in
print. Registration continues up until the first day of the class or until the
class fills. Early registration is encouraged as some classes fill quickly.
How are CE classes different
than credit classes?
CE classes differ in four primary ways.
1. While some classes may have some requirements to fulfill prior to
registering, you do not have to apply to the college in order to enroll.
2. Our classes start throughout the year, rather than at set times during a
college semester.
3. Our classes are generally fast-track, meaning that they are shorter in
length in order to accommodate your schedule and your need for skills you
can use immediately.
4. For classes that you successfully complete, you will receive a certificate
of completion and in many cases you will also be awarded Continuing
Education Units.
What about a refund for a class
that cancels or that I do not attend?
Classes are subject to change without notice. For classes/programs
cancelled by the college, the college will refund 100 percent. To
receive a refund for classes you do not attend, you must submit a
Drop Form prior to the class starting. For withdrawals, the college
will refund 100 percent if the Drop Form is received three or more
business days prior to class start. Additionally, for classes/programs
meeting 65 hours or more, the college will refund 75 percent if the
Drop Form is received less than three business days prior to class/
programs start and prior to the 3rd class meeting. No refunds will be
given thereafter. Refunds will be issued by check in 10-14 business
days.
What if there is inclement weather?
In the event of inclement weather, visit the Odessa College
website at www.odessa.edu for closure information.
What about parking?
When you register, you will receive further direction on whether
additional parking passes may be required. Parking in the Continuing
Education parking lot is open and does not require a pass (NOTE:
Employee Parking is designated by blue lines).
