Michigan Corrections Officer Grant Program
Earn your credits at no cost!
The Michigan Department of Corrections (MDOC) requires that corrections officers earn 15 college credits within 24 months of employment. The Michigan Corrections Officer Grant Program established a fund to be administered by the Michigan Community College Association (MCCA) to support tuition and fees for corrections officers enrolled at a Michigan community college.
Why Choose ACC?
- The five required courses are offered in an accelerated format, allowing students to complete them all in one semester without having to take all of them at once!
- Each of our instructors in this program are former MDOC employees.
- Corrections officers who complete their academic requirements may apply for physical training credit for their corrections academy.
