ROANE STATE COMMUNITY COLLEGE 135
Acquiring Credit for Criminal Justice
Currently enrolled criminal justice students may petition for the granting of academic
credit, based on previous experiential work in the field in which a degree is
being pursued. The student is responsible for assembling and presenting a portfolio of
materials to support the request. Individual portfolios for training received at any one
of the state’s three, eight-week, basic recruit facilities, or the twenty-four week
Knoxville basic recruit academy are not necessary since all the training is uniform.
Additional academic credit may be awarded for in-service training at specialized
schools; contingent upon how the training curriculum corresponds to the competency
based curriculum objectives for individual police science courses.
Academic experiential credit will be awarded and will not exceed 18 semester
hours. A copy of the training certificate should be sent to the Criminal Justice department.
The Records and Registration Office will assign course credit. A grade of “P”
will be assigned to experiential credit. Experiential credit cannot be granted until the
student is enrolled (full- or part-time) for classes at Roane State.
