Need advice to get either 30 credits and be registered at a school or 60

Sometimes police academy courses can be turned into credits. it wouldn't hurt to see if Pierpont, or one of the Big3 will do give them credit for their academy work. If part of their academy training was through a community college, they may even already have some credits on a transcript.

Thank you for this. We did check into it but he graduated from the Police Academy in 1995 and most places won't give credits because it's too old but he also has tons of certifications. We scanned them (and the Police Academy info which was from a county college) and sent them off the Pierpont and they will see if there is anything they can give credit for!

Most schools do not care how old credits are - they are either college credit or not.  I suspect that the academy he went to was not through a community college that granted credit for the courses, and that's why he can't get credit at other schools.

The best thing to do is check with the county college he went to and ask for a transcript.  If they don't have one, then you'll know.
