Receive UIU college credit for your police training

Learners who have successfully completed law enforcement training may submit documentation to Upper Iowa University for evaluation. There is a one time evaluation fee of $200 paid at the time of submission. The documentation will be evaluated for credit and applied to the UIU transcript. Consult an academic advisor for further information. A maximum of 30 semester credits can be earned through a combination of portfolio and law enforcement credits.

Credits earned for law enforcement training do not reduce the minimum required 30 semester credits of course work through Upper Iowa University for graduation. Credits earned through law enforcement or fire science do not apply to the 60 graded credits needed to graduate with Magna or Summa Cum Laude honors.
