Registration Is Easy
You can register at any time for most Continuing and
Professional Development (CPD) classes. There are normally
no special registration days. Registration is accepted by
telephone, fax, email, in person, or web/online (for those
who have previously enrolled in credit or non-credit classes
at San Jacinto College). Inquire early about any classes you are
interested in taking since all classes have limited enrollment
and some classes fill very quickly. Please register no later than
3 business days prior to the first class date. Unless otherwise
stated in the course description, the minimum age for
independent participation in CPD courses is 1 8 years.

 Drops, Cancellations, and Transfers /Refund Policy
Need to drop your class?
• A 1 00% refund is given if a withdrawal request is received
before the class begins. No refund is given after the class
begins.
• Courses that are linked with academic courses will adhere
to the stated CPD refund policy.
• Withdrawal requests must come directly from the
student or his/her designee. A Withdrawal/Transfer
Request form will be completed by the person making
the request (if the request is by telephone, the CPD
registration staff will complete the form to include all
pertinent information). The official receipt date is the day
and time the request is received in the CPD office. All
refunds are paid by check to the student regardless of the
method or source of original registration payment. Please
allow 3 to 4 weeks for the refund check to be processed
and mailed to the address given at the time of registration.
If there has been an address change, please provide the
corrected address with your Withdrawal request.

Canceled Classes
If San Jacinto College cancels a class, a 1 00% refund is
automatically processed for students who do not choose to
transfer to another available class. CPD personnel will make
every attempt to contact you in the event a class cancels using
contact information you have furnished. Please make sure we
have a valid daytime phone number on file for you. You may
also inquire by calling your respective campus or by logging
onto the S.O.S. system on the college website: http://www.sanjac.edu/.

Transfer Requests
Students may request one transfer into another available
section prior to the first class of the course for which they
are registered. Transfers are considered only on an available
seat basis.

Screening Requirements for Classes with Clinicals
A criminal background check may be required before a student
can participate in a clinical assignment. This is a requirement of
all clinical facilities in the Houston/Gulf Coast Area, as mandated
by JCAHO (Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare
Organizations.)
The approximate cost of the screening is $50. Information on
where to obtain this screening is available from the instructor.

Linked Classes
Classes labeled “Linked” are held with academic/credit classes
but do not earn semester credit or transfer toward academic
certificates or degrees. Enrollment into these courses is extremely
limited and is on a space-available basis. Should the credit course
completely fill, the concurrent/linked CPD course may be
canceled. Although CPD students in linked academic classes
are TASP/THEA exempt, they are held to the same performance
standards required for semester credit students. Additionally, the
course costs may differ for the credit section.
*Courses that are linked with academic courses will adhere
to the stated CPD refund policy.
Students enrolling into “linked” classes should receive from the
CPD Registration Office an informational form for their review.
Please ask for this information when you choose to enroll into
“linked” classes.
