IDOC Employees + Training = College Credits
IDOC is partnering with Ivy Tech to offer college credits for staff completing NETP and MAC.
- Staff completing NETP will receive 7 college credits at no cost to them or IDOC.
- Juvenile Staff completing MAC will receive 3 additional college credits for a total of 10 credits at no cost to them or IDOC.
Staff will need to apply and attend Ivy Tech and provide a copy of their NETP Certification.
After staff apply, enroll and provide the certification Ivy Tech will process and provide the credit hours discussed above. This applies for all New Staff and Veteran Staff that have completed the academy since 1998.
IDOC staff will receive the discounted state employee tuition rate.
Staff would need to identify themselves as state employees (recent paystub/ ID) to get the state employee rate (currently at $111.15 per credit hour).
The IDOC and Ivy Tech Community College will work together with staff who wish to pursue their education, with minimal up-front cost to the student.
By working with Ivy Tech Community College and utilizing the IDOC tuition reimbursement program, staff can defer billing for college classes until the end of each semester and potentially have a large portion of their college costs paid for through financial aid and IDOC tuition reimbursement.
