Northern Virginia Criminal Justice Academy - In Service Training Courses

It is the student's responsibility to alert APUS that s/he may fall under a current Internal Recommendation policy by emailing his/her Student ID and the name of the Internal Recommendation to articulations@apus.edu.

Eligibility:

Undergraduate students must be pursuing one of the following programs at the University:

  • Any undergraduate level degree program

Students may maximize transfer credit from this internal policy by pursuing the following program:

  • Bachelor of Arts in Criminal Justice with a General concentration

Guidelines:

  • A student has met the terms of the agreement and is eligible for possible Transfer Credit Evaluation (TCE) review if they completed the specific course(s) through the Northern Virginia Criminal Justice Academy in 2009 or later and they have not yet had an Initial TCE completed.
  • If an Initial TCE has already been prepared and the student completed the course(s) through the Northern Virginia Criminal Justice Academy in 2009 or later after the official evaluation was completed, they can send in the updated paperwork.  A TCE Update Request Form must also be submitted to initiate the review process.
  • If a student changes their degree program, they are eligible for a review of their Northern Virginia Criminal Justice Academy certificate(s) for possible transfer credit.
  • If a student has already had an Initial TCE completed, their documentation has already been reviewed, and no additional paperwork is to be submitted, they are NOT eligible for this internal policy.

Students must send in a copy of their certificate(s) of completion from the Northern Virginia Criminal Justice Academy along with a TCE Application.  Documentation of successful completion may make a student eligible for the following transfer credit recommendations depending on their specific undergraduate degree program requirements.
