INSTITUTIONAL PROFILE HISTORY Palo 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 missionstyle 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.

GLOSSARY CIP Code Classification 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. Cohort A group of students who can be identified as starting their education at the same time. Contact Hours A 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 Credit Dual 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 Entry Classes 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. GLOSSARY Persistence Students 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. GLOSSARY PAGE 26
