Credit for completion of the full course of studies at the St. Charles County Law Enforcement Training Center may be substituted for certain Criminal Justice electives - 12 hours maximum (see below.) 

If you plan to attent the Law Enforcement Training Center, you should not  take the following courses from SCC: CRJ 110, CRJ 111, CRJ 170, CRJ 224, and CRJ 230.  Doing so would duplicate your 12 hours of course work credit. 

If you plan to attend the Law Enforcement Training Center, you should chose 12 additional credit hours of electives from the following courses: CRJ 101, CRJ 202, CRJ 210, CRJ 240, CRJ 250, CRJ 260, CRJ 265, CRJ 290.  See an SCC counselor or program faculty member for a recommended sequence of CRJ electives.
