Overview

The Texas College Bridge program offers Certificates of Completion to students through Greenlight Locker. Greenlight allows students to have access to their Certificate(s) and share them directly with any institutions of higher education that accept Texas College Bridge. (See the current list of schools accepting Texas College Bridge here.)

IMPORTANT: The way students initially gain access to Certificates of Completion in Greenlight Locker changed on May 13, 2022. The instructions below outline student instructions moving forward.

Prior to May 13, 2022 certificates were not available immediately upon reaching the program requirements. Instead, students would periodically receive an email with details on how to access any available certificates. If a student previously received an email, they can still follow the instructions in that message, or can log into Texas College Bridge and access their certificate(s) on their My Achievements page. 

Access Your Certificate

1. Navigate to the My Achievements page in EdReady: 
   • Log in and click the View your Goals button
   • Click on your name near the top of the page
   • Click My Account in the dropdown menu to be taken to the My Achievements page where you can see your certificates.
     (More details on accessing the My Achievements page available HERE)
2. Click on the Go To Certificate button to be taken to Greenlight Locker
