College Credit for Administration of Justice (AJ) Training

If you have completed classes offered by non-college organizations (excluding military training*), you may be able to get college credit. To qualify:

  • The course(s) must cover AJ related content.
  • Certificate of completion of course must have your name and date on it. Certificate of attendance or participation may not suffice.
  • Hours of training must equal credits. 16 hours = 1 credit. Combination of training classes may equal an AJ course.

The training institution must be in the HCC articulation database. If not in database, you need to provide detailed information on:

  • The institution:
    • Name, Address, Phone Number, Website, if available
    • Mission, Standards, Professional Organizations which recognize training program.
  • The course:
    • Course Title
    • Course Description
    • Course Syllabus or Outline
    • Training Hours
    • Evaluation of completion of course- written test, practical or hands-on, project.
    • Currency of training

Steps:

  1. Look up course and training institution in HCC’s articulation database.
  2. If you cannot find course in database, e-mail Marilynn Ito-Won, AJ Counselor with course alpha, number, title, training institution, address.
  3. Marilynn will check further in the articulation database, as sometimes entry into the database is confusing.
  4. If training institution is not in the database, provide AJ counselor with:
    • Name of training institution
    • Address, Phone, Website
    • Mission
    • Standards
    • Professional organizations that recognize training programs
  5. If course is not in database, provide AJ counselor with:

    • Training Hours
    • Evaluation of completion of course written test, practical or hands on project.
    • Currency of Training (for example: update yearly, no expiration date)
    • Certificate with your name
  6. Course waiver/substitution is needed if training is from different organizations. See Marilynn for form.
