The institution awards academic credit for course work taken on a
noncredit basis only when there is documentation that the noncredit
course work is equivalent to a designated credit experience.
Students who have served on active duty in the United States military
or who have completed training through the Police Academy may
receive credit at LSUA on the following basis[1]  :
A student who has completed four months of continuous full-time
active military duty will be granted one semester hour of Military
Service credit for such service on presentation of satisfactory
evidence. Two semester hours of credit will be allowed for six months
of continuous full-time active military duty. For longer periods of
military service, credit is allowed at the rate of one semester hour
per each additional three months of continuous active duty service, not
to exceed 12 semester hours.
Criminal Justice students who have passed a 320-hour (or more) basic
training course as prescribed and certified by the Louisiana Council on
Peace Officers Standards and Training (POST) may apply to receive three
semester hours credit in lieu of CJ 2999 (Internship in Criminal
Justice). If the training was completed outside the State of
Louisiana, it must transfer to Louisiana in accordance with Louisiana
Administrative Code, Title 22, part III, Chapter 47.
LSUA also awards credit according to the recommendation of the
American Council on Education (ACE) for satisfactory completion of
specific series schools. A copy of the service record (the DD214 or the
DD295) must be submitted for evaluation and awarding of credit.
With the exceptions noted above, LSUA does not award academic credit
for course work taken on a non-credit basis. Credit awarded on the
basis of credit examination is discussed in Comprehensive Standard 3.4.4.
