Review process and required documentation
Our department head must receive and review a copy of the corresponding training curriculum to determine the number of academic credit hours to be awarded, unless the academy or professional training curriculum has already received our approval.
The curriculum document you send must include:
- A layout of all subjects covered.
- The amount of time devoted per subject.
- A link to the training organization’s website along with contact information for the organization’s lead administrator.
Academic credits awarded through this process will be designated as lower-division (freshman/sophomore) electives up to a maximum of 15 credit hours.
