Monroe College's generous transfer policy helps students earn a college degree even quicker. There are many ways prospective students may have earned credit. These are the following ways students can earn transfer credits.

Students receive full credit for all the courses taken at the Police or Corrections Academy and are eligible for up 12 credits for life experience. The College also grants credits for advance training including Homicide and Sex Crimes Schools and supervisory schools. Officers outside of New York City may also be eligible for credits based on an individual review of their portfolio.

Monroe College honors some military transfer credits. This includes military classes, including basic training, as well as other formal training. If the soldiers or sailors MOS directly matches one of the Monroe College degrees, additional credits can be accepted and perhaps life experience credits can be granted as well. These will be reviewed on an individual basis and must receive approval from the Department Chairperson.

• DANTES-Monroe accepts Defense Activity for Non-Traditional Education Support test scores based on ACE (American Council on Education) recommendations.

• ACE-Credits earned through military experience and registered through the American Council of Education will be evaulated for possible transfer credit.

Monroe grants credit earned through college equivalency testing (CLEP). Monroe College is an official CLEP testing location and appointments can be made by calling 1-800-55-MONROE.

For students with relevant work experience, primarily adult and returning students, Monroe College offers "Life Experience Credit" which is contingent upon administrative approval and evaluation by the appropriate major department.
