Collegiate Program

(1)

College programs are not provided by the department. Inmates choosing to pursue a post secondary college degree or certificate, either through enrollment in classes provided at the facility or by the local community college or through correspondence courses, must pay for the program themselves. Correspondence courses must be approved by the institution/education staff. Inmates must consult their counselor before making arrangements for correspondence courses.

(2)

Inmates must follow the institution rules regarding package authorization. The education unit, depending on available resources, may assist with proctoring tests, callouts for viewing videos/listening to cassette tapes. Resources will differ from facility to facility.
NOTE: There are no grant funds (Pell Grants) nor general fund resources to pay for these programs. Pell grants were eliminated for state prisoners in 1994 with the passage of the Federal Crime Bill.
