Welcome to Workforce & Economic Development.

All course offerings are subject to a minimum enrollment and classes may be added upon request. Please feel free to call us or check back on this site for changes and updates.

We offer several types of courses in the Continuing Education Department. Students do not have to go through the admission process to register for our classes and can gain Continuing Education Unit Credits or take classes for Personal Enrichment. Our courses are available to enhance lifelong learning and make new learning opportunities available.

Continuing Education Units

While academic credit is not awarded for Continuing Education Courses, many classes do carry Continuing Education Units (CEU's). The CEU is a nationally recognized means of recording and accounting for Continuing Education activities. One unit is awarded for completion of 10 hours of organized Continuing Education training.

Personal Enrichment Courses

These courses are available to enhance life-long learning and make new learning opportunities available. No CEU's are awarded for these classes. Some are offered as short courses while others are co-enrollment courses.

Co-Enrollment Courses

A Co-Enrollment Course is a Continuing Education course which meets at the same time and place as an existing college credit course. Enrollment is based upon space availability and where applicable, completion of appropriate assessment and counseling. Co-Enrollment students earn CEU's when applicable, not college credit. The advantage of a CEU course is that you don't have to go through the admission process to take a co-enrollment class. If you want college credit, you must seek admission to Panola College as a credit student. Students taking Co-Enrollment courses do not apply for formal admission to Panola College, nor are they required to take the THEA (Texas Higher Education Assessment, formally the TASP Test). Attendance at all class sessions and participation in classroom lecture/discussion and evaluation is expected. To register for a Co-Enrollment Continuing Education course: determine the course and section that you would like to attend, register for the course at the Workforce Office in Carthage or at the site where the course is offered, tuition is charged at the in-district rate and lab fees are added, proceed to the schedule class meeting, and enjoy!

How to Register (Continuing Education and Community Service Courses only)

You may register using one of the following methods:

  • In person at the Workforce Office located in the Merle Glass Building on the Carthage Campus (on the corner of W. Holland and Bird Dr.)
  • By fax or phone when paying by credit card. (903) 693-2067
Payments

Tuition may be paid by cash, check, money order, Visa, MasterCard, American Express, or Discover. Checks should be made payable to Panola College.

Class Cancellation

Panola College reserves the right to cancel any course if enrollment is insufficient. However, the college will make every attempt to prevent undue hardship on students. The decision to conduct or cancel a class is made immediately prior to the first day of class. This provides every opportunity for sufficient enrollment. Please call before driving to make certain your class has made.

Class Withdrawal
To withdraw formally from a Continuing Education class, a student must contact the campus where the course is offered either by phone or in person during working hours.

Virtual College of Texas

Panola College Continuing Education Department participates in the Virtual College of Texas by hosting and providing continuing education courses for professional occupations. Such courses include nursing refresher, finance, real estate and many others. For a complete list of courses, go to http://panolacollege.vct.org.
