Summary of progress made on the initiative to date:
An initial meeting was held on 9/23/09 to discuss the potential program components listed below. The
next program meeting is scheduled for 2/5/10 to begin the development of the program.
Implementation of the program will be in 2011.
Information about upcoming work on the initiative:
Several program options will be explored during the development and planning of this program:
Development of new criminal justice electives in the current program to coincide with some advanced
courses at CJI. A mechanism may be set up to award credit by exam for those passing the assessment in
those courses, providing all learning outcomes were addressed in assessment.
Experiential credit may be awarded to those with significant workplace experience in specific areas not
covered by existing award of credit.
College preparatory skill shops may be implemented to assist those currently in the criminal justice
workforce to prepare for college placement tests (CPT).
The idea of adding college credit certificates (CCC) to the program will be explored. Incoming students
working toward CCC could delay CPT testing while completing college courses as part of the CCC
requirements.
Offering college courses at CJI in hybrid classes in 5 or 8 week formats to assist those in the workforce in
attaining the first 6 college hours needed to complete the award of credit requirements for the current
CJI agreement.
