U.S. Coast Guard Maritime Law Enforcement Academy

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

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

• Bachelor of Arts in Criminal Justice with a concentration in Maritime Law Enforcement
• Bachelor of Arts in General Studies

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 U.S. Coast Guard Maritime Law Enforcement Academy AFTER the EFFECTIVE DATE listed in the table below and they have not yet had an Initial TCE completed.
• If an Initial TCE has already been prepared and the student completed the specific course(s) through the U.S. Coast Guard Maritime Law Enforcement Academy after the effective date listed, 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 Coast Guard Institute (CGI) transcript 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 the agreement terms.

Students must send in an OFFICIAL CGI transcript along with a Transfer Credit Evaluation (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.  The location listed on a student's official CGI transcript may be Maritime Law Enforcement Academy OR Fed. Law Enf. Trng Ctr, Glynco, GA; however, the course completion date MUST be after the effective date listed in the table below.

For those students who have completed a course outside the effective date listed, we are required to perform a course by course evaluation and follow the American Council on Education (ACE) recommendations for awarding transfer credit.  A course must be evaluated by ACE and recommended for undergraduate level credit in order to be eligible for transfer credit toward an undergraduate degree program with APUS.

Please Note:

This Internal Recommendation Policy is valid for listed programs which will be reviewed each Catalog year and credit recommendations may change if the programs or internal recommendation policies are altered and/or re-evaluated.
