HISTORYPalo Alto College, one of the Alamo Colleges, has been a pillar of the south San Antonio community since it began offering classes in 1985. For nearly 30 years, Palo Alto College has been dedicated to providing a high-quality education accessible to all.

Palo Alto College’s history began with the community’s championing for more options for higher learning serving the southern sector of Bexar County. In 1974, Fernando Rodriguez Jr. introduced a resolution to work toward obtaining a community college for the West Side or South Side of San Antonio and the Communities Organized for Public Service (COPS) annual convention.

Nearly a decade later, the Alamo

Community College District approved funds to plan and purchase land for the college on February 21, 1983. Texas Legislature officially approved a charter for Palo Alto College as the third college of the Alamo Community College District on March 19, 1983.

Palo Alto College began offering classes to 231 students in temporary classrooms at high schools and military installations in September 1985, and administrative offices were located at Billy Mitchell Village. Through a bond issue passed in 1983 by Bexar County voters, a $13 million mission-style campus was built and opened in 1987, located inside Loop 410 at Texas Highway 16 in southern Bexar County.

The Southern Association of Colleges and Schools awarded full accreditation to Palo Alto College in 1987. Accreditation was last reaffirmed in June 2012, effective until 2022.

Palo Alto College has been led by six presidents during its nearly 30-year history:

• Dr. Terry Dicianna (1985-1989)

• Dr. Byron Skinner (1990-1992)

• Dr. Joel Vela (1993-1996)

• Dr. Enrique Solis (1998-2001)

• Dr. Ana M.”Cha” Guzmán (2001-2012)

• Dr. Mike Flores (2012-present)

PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS | PAGE 8

COSMETOLOGYApproved by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation and Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board, Palo Alto College joins the more than 35 community colleges in Texas offering a cosmetology program. Student tuition to receive an Associate of Applied Science (A.A.S.) degree in Cosmetology at Palo Alto College is a third of the cost of most proprietary institutions, allowing graduates to join the workforce, retain a significant portion of their earnings and provide a steady income for their families.

EARLY COLLEGE HIGH SCHOOLPalo Alto College developed partnerships with six area school districts to launch four early college high schools (ECHS) in Fall 2014. In these partnerships, students learn through curriculum that has been innovatively designed to blend secondary and the first two years of post-secondary education using a dual credit framework. The four early college high schools include:

• A.C.E.S Early College High School (Southside ISD)

• Early College Leadership Academy (Somerset, Lytle, and Poteet ISDs)

• Frank Madla Early College High School (New Frontiers Charter School)

• STEM Early College High School (Harlandale ISD)

These partnerships join three other ECHS partnerships with the Alamo Colleges. In 2013, 82% of Alamo Colleges’ ECHS graduates attained an associates degree or technical certificate in addition to their high school diploma – an impressive 350% higher than the national average. Additionally, Alamo Colleges’ ECHS graduates earned an average number of 58 college credits – 61% more than the national average.

GED PROGRAMThe Adult Learning Academy provides members of the community with resources to gain a better job, reach personal goals and improve their quality of life. The Palo Alto College GED review course helps students develop the math, writing, reading and critical thinking skills needed to succeed in passing the GED exam. Students are provided with practice tests, tips on time management, study skills and testing on campus. In Spring 2014, Toyota Motor Manufacturing Texas Inc. provided $13,000 for GED testing scholarships for Palo Alto College Students. In December 2014 the GED Brunch Group Raised $43,000 for GED testing scholarships for Palo Alto College Students. On June 2014, Palo Alto College was designated as a GED testing site in English and Spanish and started officially testing students.

FINANCIAL AID AWARDS 2014-2015



The U.S. Department of Education awards about $150 billion every year to help millions of students pay for college. This federal student aid is awarded in the form of grants, low-interest loans, and work-study funds.

Grants are typically awarded on the basis of need and generally do not have to be repaid. There are four types of federal student grants:

• Federal Pell Grants are usually awarded to undergraduate students who have not yet earned a bachelor’s degree. (In some cases, students enrolled in post baccalaureate teacher certification programs may receive Federal Pell Grants.) Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants (FSEOG) are awarded to undergraduate students with exceptional financial need. The amount of the award is determined by the college’s financial aid office, and depends on the student’s financial need and the availability of funds at the college.

• Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants (FSEOG) are awarded to undergraduate students with exceptional financial need. The amount of the award is determined by the college’s financial aid office, and depends on the student’s financial need and the availability of funds at the college.

• Texas-TEOG Grants are eligible to participate after the their initial year may continue to receive funds based on renewal eligibility for up to 4-years, 75 hours, or obtaining an associate’s degree.

Work-Study enables students to earn money during the school year part-time.

• The Federal Work-Study Program is a financial need based program that provides funds that are earned through part-time employment.

• The Teas College Work-Study Program is to provide part-time jobs to eligible students with financial need to enable them to attend college.

Loans consist of money that the student borrows to help pay for college, and must be repaid (plus interest). There are two federal student loan programs:

• The William D. Ford Federal Direct Loan Program enables students and parents to borrow money at low interest rates directly from the federal government.

• The Federal PLUS Loan is a loan borrowed by a parent on behalf of a child to help pay for tuition and school related expenses at an eligible college or university, or by a graduate student for graduate school.

Other forms of financial aid that might be available to students include:

• Aid from the college. Students should contact the financial aid offices at the colleges they are considering for more information.

• Scholarships some local governments, colleges, community organizations, private employers, and other organizations award scholarships based on academic ability or other factors.

• Aid for the military.

GLOSSARYFACT BOOK 2014-2015

GLOSSARY | PAGE 26

CIP CodeClassification of Instructional Programs (CIP) codes are a system of numeric identifiers that provide a taxonomic scheme of describing and aggregating college instructional programs and majors.

CohortA group of students who can be identified as starting their education at the same time.

Contact HoursA measure of time that a student spends in a class or in contact with a faculty member such as in a lab. Contact hours are based primarily on an estimate of clock hours spent in instructional activities.

Dual CreditDual credit courses enable students who meet the requirements to earn college credits while completing their high school requirements. Completing a dual credit course earns the student college credit which may be applied toward an associate degree and/or may transfer to other colleges and universities.

Flexible EntryClasses whose census date is after the official census date of the regular term are known as “flexible entry” classes.

First-Time in College (FTIC)First -Time in College (FTIC) students are students who enter the college having never attended college previously at this or any other institution.

First-Time Transfer (FTT)First -Time Transfer (FTT) students are students entering the reporting institution for the first time but who are known to have previously attended another postsecondary institution at the undergraduate level.

Full-Time (FT)Students who are enrolled in 12 or more credit hours of courses in a semester are classified as full-time.

Part-Time (PT)Students who are enrolled in fewer than 12 semester credit hours of courses in a given semester are classified as part-time.

PersistenceStudents who enter Palo Alto at a specific point in time and continue to return to complete work toward their educational programs. Persistence is usually expressed in relation to a time factor such as Fall year 1 to Fall year 2.
