Entry-Level Job Skills
Subject to the special conditions listed below, San Jacinto College guarantees that students earning an associate of applied science degree or the certificate of technology will have the job skills necessary for entry-level employment in the technical field for which they have been trained. If the employer provides sufficient evidence that the student lacks these skills after completing one of these programs, the College will provide additional skill training, tuition free. These special conditions apply to the guarantee:

1. The student must earn the associate of applied science degree or the certificate of technology in a technical program listed in the San Jacinto College Catalog as of the 1992-1993 academic year or later.
2. The student must complete the degree program within four years or the certificate program within three years. All technical course work must be completed at San Jacinto College within the specified time period.
3. The student must be employed full time within 12 months after graduation in an occupation directly related to the specific program completed at San Jacinto College as certified by the College.
4. The student's employer must certify in writing that the student lacks the entry-level job skills identified as program-exit competencies by San Jacinto College for the program which he/she completed. The employer must specify the areas of deficiency within 90 days of initial employment.
5. After the student contacts in writing the San Jacinto College campus where he/she received training, the student and the College will develop together a written educational plan for retraining.
6. Retraining will be limited to nine credit hours related to the identified skill deficiency and to those classes regularly scheduled during the period covered by the retraining plan.
7. The students must complete all retraining within a calendar year from the time the educational plan is agreed upon.
8. Although tuition for this retraining is free, the student must pay for books, insurance, uniforms, fees, and other courserelated expenses.
9. The guarantee does not imply that San Jacinto College graduates will pass any licensing or qualifying examination for a particular career.
10. This guarantee does not apply to competencies taught in courses in which the student earned a grade of less than C, nor does it apply to courses which have been substituted for courses specified in the degree or certificate program.
