Alternative Credit

A student who has successfully completed the Certified Law Enforcement Executive Program may receive up to nine hours of credit (3 courses) toward a criminal justice degree. The student must have completed the entire CLEE program and meet the admissions criteria for a CJ degree. In addition, the student will need to submit their collection of CLEE documentation (10-15 papers completed during the training program) and/or write a 10-12 page paper on an assigned topic related to the TU course for credit. There is an administrative and processing fee of $100 per course. Contact the School Dean for more information.

Credit may be awarded for either general or subject tests taken through College Level Examination Program (CLEP). The American Council on Education recommendations are followed when determining required scores for awarding credit.

Members of FBINA could receive up to 12** credit hours toward masters-level degree programs or up to 30** credits towards an undergraduate-level degree.

Students who have successfully completed International Bachelor (I.B.) Higher Level work may petition for transfer credit. For each Higher Level examination for which a score of 4 or better is achieved, 3 semester hours of credit may be awarded on a course-by-course basis. Credit is not awarded for I.B. Subsidiary Level examinations. An official score report of results received is required for credit consideration. Higher Level I.B. courses are generally considered to be on a par with the Advanced Placement program courses of the College Entrance Examination Board. No more than 30 semester hours will be awarded through this program.

Students who have completed the Corrections Academy Certification may earn six transferable credits towards a Bachelor of Criminal Justice degree. The credits will count for two courses (COR 110 and COR 120). The student must have completed the entire Academy, submit documentation of completion and meet the admissions criteria for a CJ degree. There is no additional fee to receive the credit.

The successful completion of this course will certify the student as an employment-ready police officer in the State of Ohio.
