1. Police Academies
Description: The purpose of this module is to acquaint the user with the transferability of credit to WBU from an issuing Police Academy.
This Module will help familiarize the advisor with the process of transferring credit earned at a Police Academy or Police Certificate Programs to one of the University’s degree programs.

2. WBU Mission: University Core Values: Commitment to Student Learning
 Wayland Baptist University exists to educate students in an academically challenging, learning-focused and distinctively Christian environment for professional success and service to God and humankind.
University Core Values:
 The following core values are at the heart of the degree planning process:
Commitment to Student Learning
Excellence and Innovation
Service to Our Communities
Integrity, Diversity, Trust, and Respect
Personal, Professional and Spiritual Development
Stewardship of Our Resources
Planning and Accountability
This is a reminder of the WBU Mission and University Core Values. These should be considered with every task performed and every decision made within the university.

3. Learning Outcomes:
Upon the completion of this training module, the user will be able to identify, understand, and apply the rules and steps found within the university’s guidelines in order to transfer the appropriate credit gained from a Policy Academy or Law Enforcement Certificate.
This module will ensure the proper governance of the university’s programs and ensure that our student population is being advised correctly.
After reviewing this module, the advisor should be able speak with a potential student about the likelihood of transferring credit from a Police Academy or Certificate Program. Advisors will be able to demonstrate what courses the transferred credit will satisfy and in what order they will be placed onto the degree plan.
Students with this type of transfer credit will gain the most use of their credit hours by seeking a degree within the majors of Justice Administration, Human Services, or Applied Science.
Advisor’s should be aware that this module only covers commonly used state Police Academies. If a student desires to bring in credit from a different state, you MUST speak with an Evaluator about the possibility of transferring in those particular credit hours.

4. Governing Policies
The following policies are set forth for student’s who wish to receive credit for basic law enforcement certificates and academies.
Appropriate documentation showing the student’s completion of an academy is needed for the student to receive credit.
It is the sole responsibility of the student to ensure that the University receives official documentation from the issuing institution.
If a student has completed an academy (or been awarded credit for completing an academy) through an accredited college/university the student will have the option of choosing the coursework from the transferring institution or the evaluated credit from WBU. If the academy has not been evaluated by WBU, the student will only receive credit for the transferred coursework.
Additional certificates and/or seminars will be evaluated at the rate of 20:1, unless it is unclear whether the credit was class or lab credit, which will be assessed at 32:1.
The responsibility lies upon the student to ensure that official documents are provided to the University for review. Advisors should be cautious in advising students about transferring in credit without the official documents in hand. Due to various programs, states, and issuing agencies, there are too many variables to counsel a student correctly until the advisor can review the documents.
Once the documents are received, it will be easier for the advisor to work with an evaluator (if needed) to assess the ability to transfer credit.
Please note the rate in which certificates and seminars will be assessed.

5. Governing Policies Continued:
Some of the credit from these certificates will duplicate Wayland courses. These have been identified, and the courses they duplicate are indicated. The credits from certificates are indirect equivalents and do not grant upper level credit unless specifically notated. If a student has one of these certificates, please advise him/her not to take the WBU course which would duplicate credit already earned.
All students holding law enforcement academy certificates will receive 4 hours of Exercise and Sport Science, with only 3 used in the general education core. The 1 additional EXSS hour may be used in the general electives area. In order to be awarded the EXSS credit a student must have academy certificates showing completion of the course. The EXSS credit will not be awarded for bulk credit transferred from another college/university.
Example: A student completes an academy through another institution and he/she is awarded bulk totals for portions of the course (i.e. 13 hours). The transferred coursework will not be broken-down to award EXSS credit.
Many courses transferred in from an academy or from a certificate program will duplicate courses from the University. It is imperative that new students, who are in their 1st term and do not have their official documents turned in yet, do not take any courses that may be duplicated after review. Once the student’s official degree plan has been created, it is still important for the advisor to ensure that duplicate courses are never taken.
Advisors need to pay special attention to the granting of the University’s Exercise credit (EXSS).

Allowing students to take duplicate courses.
Be very cautious registering students for courses without their official transcript in hand. Many students take the incorrect course in their first term of enrollment.
Advisor’s miscalculating the transfer ratio for certificates.
Advisor’s granting credit for academies or certificates that are not allowed.
Allowing for too many transfer credits, i.e. 31 residency hours are required.
This is a list of some common mistakes made by the advisor and the student.

25. Summary Review:
 This training module focused on the transfer of credit from an issuing Police Academy or Law Enforcement Certificate. At its conclusion, the advisor should know the specific state’s transfer rate for both academy and certificate credit, be able to identify if there are any duplicate University courses, and know the appropriate ratio in which to transfer certificate/seminar credit. The advisor should be able to explain the process of transferring this type of credit to interested students and counsel them appropriately based upon the University’s governance.
