Articulation Agreement

Student Procedures

Students who wish to receive credit for completion of either the Law Enforcement or Corrections Officer Academies must submit their Certificate of Completion to the Criminal Justice Program Manager for review and verification. Students must also complete a Request for Credit Form, which can be obtained from the Criminal Justice Institute.
