Credit for Police and Fire Training

O'Neill IU Indianapolis grants credit for graduates of the Indianapolis Fire Department Training academies and graduates of five certified Indiana police training academies. Qualified firefighters receive 9 hours for designated O'Neill courses, and qualified law enforcement academy graduates receive 12 hours for designated courses. This credit is awarded by written notification from O'Neill to Admissions. The individual must either (1) be currently enrolled or (2) applied and accepted for admission. Once graduation from the academy with a 77% or better has been confirmed by O'Neill, the credit is posted as transfer credit and there becomes “official” once the student completes one additional IU Indianapolis course. There is no charge for this credit. Individuals who believe they qualify should contact O'Neill Student Services. Recipients of firefighter and law enforcement credit should be directly admitted to O'Neill when they apply for the credit.

You can apply these credits towards any of O'Neill's undergraduate degree programs.
