English Language Learning (ELL)
The English Language Learning sequence of courses is comprised of English for Academic Purposes [ENGA] and English as a Second or other Language [ESLA]
English for Academic Purposes [ENGA]
English for Academic Purposes [ENGA] classes focus on learning how to converse, read, understand, and write academically in Standard American English. ENGA courses are parallel in scope to developmental Integrated Reading and Writing [INRW] courses with an emphasis on language acquisition. These classes are available continuously to the community.

These classes are available continuously to the community. For further information, please call Dr. JoAnn Martinez at (210) 486-2643. Each course has a curriculum that is specifically designed to meet the academic needs of the individual learner.
Library
The St. Philip’s College Library has two locations. The main location is in the Center for Learning Resources (CLR), a wing of the Multipurpose Building at St. Philip’s College, located at 1801 Martin Luther King Dr. The second location is in Building 1, at Southwest Campus, located at 800 Quintana Rd. Both libraries feature quiet, comfortable study areas, including group and individual study rooms. They offer computers with Internet and software programs for student projects, email, and research. Photocopiers and printers are also provided, as well as rooms for library instruction and media viewing. A small fee is charged per page for computer printouts and photocopies. The Reference and Instruction staff periodically give tours and are available during operating hours for help with research needs.
The Library’s collections include books, music CDs, and DVDs, all of which may be checked out, as well as numerous print periodicals and reference materials for in-library use.
The library’s web site provides patrons with quick online access to books, articles and other media through the online Library Catalog and electronic databases. As these tools are Web-based, patrons can easily access library holdings and resources from any Alamo Colleges Library or from their home or office through the library’s web site.
Other resources found on the Web site include general library information, library guides, and library-service request forms. SPC faculty may contact any Librarian or complete a request form to schedule bibliographic/library instruction.
Distance Learning
Distance Learning is a form of education, where students work interactively with faculty and other students via the use of a combination of communication tools which include a learning management system with access to class notes, tests and quizzes, discussion forums, email, conferencing tools, and other instructor-selected resources. Students with scheduling or distance problems can benefit, as can employees, because distance learning can be more flexible in terms of time and can be delivered virtually anywhere. Distance Learning Courses are the same as on campus courses in terms of academic quality, credit hours, transferability, and cost.
Popular distance learning delivery methods used at St. Philip’s College include:
Online Courses
Internet or Online Courses are a convenient and flexible alternative for obtaining college credit. Instead of attending classes on campus, students may take a college course from home, office or other convenient location using a computer with Internet access. Students can access assignments, notes, class presentations and exams through the Internet at times that fit their schedules. Online courses are the same as on-campus classes in credit hours, transferability and cost and are taught by distance learning certified faculty members
Hybrid or Blended Courses: “Hybrid” or “Blended” are names commonly used to describe courses in which some traditional face-to-face time has been replaced by online learning activities. In a hybrid course, a portion of the class learning activities is online, which reduces the amount of time spent in a traditional, face-to-face classroom.
Difference between a hybrid and online? Students who take hybrid courses continue to meet in the classroom for the number of scheduled hours for that course. An online or distance course is conducted entirely online.
Web-Enhanced Courses: Web enhanced courses meet on campus, however instructors may use the Canvas platform for assignments, notes, class presentations or exams.
Orientation to Online Learning (ORLN 0001): If you are enrolled for the first time in any online class, you are REQUIRED to take Orientation to Online Learning. This course may be accessed through ACES, My Courses and will be available to you as soon as you register of it. OLRN 0001 is FREE, 100% online, self-paced, does not award college credit hours, and does not affect financial aid eligibility, enrolled hours, or Grade Point Average. Register for the self-paced, fully online OLRN course the same way as any other course.
If you need face-to-face assistance for this course, contact the Center for Distance Learning - www.alamo.edu/spc/distance-learning or (210) 486-2239.
Online Course Requirements & Skills: Online courses provide an alternative course delivery mode for students. The successful distance learning student must be highly motivated, self-disciplined, goal-oriented, focused and self-directed. Students considering enrollment in an online course should be able to meet the following minimal technical requirements and skills.
- Have access to the Internet
- Possess basic Internet navigation skills
- Have an email account and basic email skills
- Have a working knowledge of the Windows or Mac computer environment
For further information regarding the above items, students may contact the instructor listed for each course. Additionally, students may also visit the St. Philip’s College Center for Distance Learning site at http://www.alamo.edu/spc/distance-learning/ or call (210) 486-2239.
SmarterMeasure: It is also highly recommended that you take the SmarterMeasure online assessment to determine if you are a good candidate for online classes. The assessment results will also provide resources to help you better prepare to take online classes. You can find the SmarterMeasure assessment tool at http://stphilips.smartermeasure.com/.

Students will find photographs, oral history interviews as well as correspondence and other personal documents from prominent people in local and American history - Bishop James Steptoe Johnston, Ms. Artemisia Bowden and Dr. Clarence Norris, Sr., to name a few. Unlike library materials, St. Philip’s archival materials provide a first-hand look at the historically significant episodes of the College’s history that encapsulate the struggle for economic survival, the vision to provide equal educational opportunities for all, the fight for civil rights and the determination to serve the academic and skill development needs of the community. Students have access to authentic historical documents to support their coursework as well as to enhance their learning opportunities by experiencing and judging history for themselves. An archivist is available by appointment to answer questions and provide access to the materials.
Room and Board
St. Philip’s College assumes no responsibility for boarding or lodging for a student. St. Philip’s College has no dormitories, so each student is responsible for securing his or her own room and board. The college cafeteria is a contracted vendor who serves three (3) meals per day, Monday through Thursday and two (2) meals on Friday.
Child Development Center
St. Philip’s College Child Development Center is located on the northwest corner of the campus for optimal convenience and can accommodate up to 57 children.

Enrollment will be provided on a first-come basis. For additional information, please contact the Center at 210-486-2500.
Service-Learning at St. Philip’s College
Service-learning is a teaching method that links community service with learning objectives in academic and vocational/technical courses at St. Philip’s College. This model of learning combines classroom instruction and real-world application, benefiting both the student and the community equally. For example, students completing education classes can improve their learning by spending time serving in an elementary school classroom, or biology students can better understand their subject matter while improving their environment. Reflection activities and critical thought are then used to connect the service experience with the coursework. Student participating in this educational experience will be more prepared to face the complexities of the workplace. Service-learning brings together learning and social responsibility to craft a more well-rounded student. The program impacts student academic motivation, needs in the community, leadership development and civic responsibility.
Reasons to enroll in service-learning classes:
- Apply theory learned in the classroom
- Gain real-world experience
- Help your community
- Increase your chances of getting scholarships
- Added experience to your application to four-year institutions and to your resume

Student Academic Grievance Policy
Faculty is responsible for classroom management, teaching strategies, testing, and evaluation of student performance. At academic institutions conflicts may develop within the educational process that requires academic intervention using the Academic Grievance process.

Campus Parking Regulations
Every student attending classes who operates a motor vehicle and parks on the College campus must purchase and properly display a “Student Parking Registration” (see Tuition Section). To be valid, the Parking Registration must be placed on the passenger front window with the registration number facing the front of the vehicle. A registration placed in any other manner will be classified as “No Registration.” Parking registrations are valid for one (1) academic year (September 1 through August 31.) The purchase of a Parking Registration DOES NOT guarantee the student a parking space on the College campus, but only authorizes the student to park in authorized “student” parking lots if space is available and the Parking Registration is properly displayed. It is imperative that the student who operates a motor vehicle secures a copy of the Traffic and Parking Rules and Regulations at the time he or she purchases the Parking Registration. This will minimize misunderstandings and penalties involving the issuance of Parking Citations.

Students may opt to attend class at either the University of the Incarnate Word or at St Mary’s University.
A mandatory Leadership Laboratory is held every Wednesday afternoon from 2-4 PM, to further develop leadership skills through a varied program consisting of field trips, practical exercises, and visits to military installations. This laboratory is required each semester for all ROTC students. In most cases, ROTC cadets may receive an academic minor in Military Science.

* Four-Year Program
The Basic Course, usually pursued concurrently with the freshman and sophomore years, is voluntary for students who are physically qualified for military training. There is no obligation incurred by non-scholarship Basic Course cadets. Active Duty, Reserve or National Guard veterans who have completed basic training, or High School students who have completed three or four years of High School JROTC may be granted credit for the Basic Course with approval from the Professor of Military Science.
Students who are physically qualified and have met the standards in academic achievement and demonstrated leadership ability may pursue the Advanced Course. Cadets are normally enrolled in the Advanced Course during their Junior and Senior Year. Students are required to attend the five-week ROTC Leadership Development Assessment Course (LDAC) the summer following their junior year at Fort Knox, Kentucky. Upon satisfactory completion of LDAC and the academic work required for a degree, students are commissioned as Second Lieutenants in the United States Army, Army Reserve, or the Army National Guard.
* Two-Year Program
In addition to the standard four-year course outlined above, the Army ROTC offers a two-year program for those who did not complete or receive credit for the ROTC Basic Course. In order to enroll in the Advanced Course under the two-year program, a student must successfully complete four weeks of leadership training, provided at the Leadership Training Course (LTC) during the summer months prior to beginning their junior year of college. If students desire to take advantage of this opportunity, they should communicate directly with the Professor of Military Science no later than March 1st of the year preceding the Fall semester of their junior year. Those students seeking a Master’s Degree are eligible to participate in our two-year program.
* Scholarship and Remuneration
The Department of the Army offers four, three, and two-year competitive scholarship assistance to qualifying ROTC students. This assistance consists of payment up to $20,000 a year to cover tuition and fees, and a $1200.00 per year book allotment, plus a monthly stipend of $250.00 to $450.00 per month during the period of enrollment (not to exceed 40 months). The student need not be enrolled in the ROTC program prior to competing for a scholarship. Students interested in competing for scholarship assistance under this program should contact the Army ROTC Enrollment Officer at St Mary’s University (rotc@stmarytx.edu).
* Uniform and Equipment
All uniforms, textbooks and other equipment will be issued to students enrolled in Army ROTC courses at no cost. Students are responsible for the maintenance and upkeep of all items issued to them.
