Students enrolled in the academy also enroll in the Lamar Orange Community College Associate of Arts in Criminal Justice program and earn 24 academic credit hours upon completion of their training.
Academy cadets should consult the Criminal Justice Department Chair to determine which courses they may be eligible to take during their academy session.
These courses allow cadets to maintain full-time academic status while attending the academy. As full-time students, cadets may be eligible for financial aid. Financial aid may cover the tuition for these academic courses, and any funds received beyond that cost may be applied toward academy tuition. Students must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to be considered for financial aid.
