What are linked classes?

Students enrolled in the Continuing and Professional Development Division’s Continuing Education courses do not have to be admitted into San Jacinto College’s academic/credit side. Some Continuing Education courses are “linked” and are held in conjunction with academic/credit courses. Should a Continuing Education student complete a “linked” course and decide to enroll in a certificate or degree on the academic/credit side, they will receive credit for the “linked” course they completed. Enrollment in “linked” courses is limited and is on a space-available basis. Students enrolled in “linked” courses are TASP/THEA exempt. “Linked” courses will adhere to the stated CPD refund policy.
