Odessa CollegeContinuing Education Mission

The Odessa College Continuing Education Department impacts individual, community, and economic enrichment through lifelong learning activities that promote personal and professional development.

Odessa College does not discriminate on the basis of race, sex, color, national origin, disability or age.

Are there any special requirements to register for CE classes?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.

How do I pay for classes?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 pay with a credit card. Students who fax or email their registration should include credit card payment information on the form.

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.

Continuing Education (CE) FAQsWhat is a CEU?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 am I notified if a class is cancelled?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.

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).

Are there any requirements before I start class or clinicals? To protect our student’s health and the health of patients, OC Continuing Education has contracted with an outside vendor to support and secure your background and immunization information. This verification includes a system of required background checks, immunization verifications, and drug testing for all healthcare students. Health Career students must meet industry standards in these areas to assure that, upon successful completion of the program, students will be employable in the highly-regulated healthcare industry. The fee for this product only (Verified Credentials Health checks) will be assessed as a course fee at the time of registration and will range from $28.40 to $117.80 based on whether the student has already participated in this process at an earlier date.

*Massage Therapy, Dental Assisting, and Clinical Medical Assisting all require an entrance interview with the Health Careers Director.

Do I need to pass any tests before I register?In addition to the above, students are required to provide a copy of their TSI results and should score 342 or higher. Equivalents to the TSI will be accepted. Some programs may need a GED to meet licensing requirements.

As part of our Continuing Education Program, Odessa College offers a range of Health Career courses, taught by qualified professionals in both the classroom and clinical settings.

Do I have any costs outside of tuition?Tuition costs are noted with each program. In addition to the tuition costs, students will be responsible for verified credentials health and background checks as described above, together with books, uniforms, travel costs, and professional equipment. A complete list will be provided at the time of registration.

All required textbooks are available at the Odessa College Campus Store.

What happens after I finish the program?Course completion does not guarantee licensure as this is governed by outside agencies. If you successfully complete the program with a grade of 70% or higher, you will receive a certificate of completion from Odessa College.
