Can you tell me more about the certificate programs?
These programs, developed for criminal justice professionals, offer college classes in 40-hour modules. Participants attend class for one week (Monday –Friday, 8:00am to 5:00pm.). Three semester hours of college credit will be awarded upon the successful completion of each class and after any/all assignments have been submitted to the professor. You will receive a class syllabus several weeks prior to school so you will be able to prepare.

Do I have to provide original high school transcripts AND original college transcripts?
Some students do have to provide both sets of transcripts. Students who attended college, but have less than thirty (30) transferable* semester hours, have to meet freshman admission standards, which means providing the original high school transcript. (* Transferable meaning that the semester hours are from an accredited university. Please direct all questions regarding transferable hours to the Registrar's office at AASU, 912.344.2576).

You will also need to contact the Board of Education in the state where you received your GED and request that an official transcript of your GED be sent to the law enforcement program specialist at AASU.
