The Department of Justice requires all Law Enforcement students - Academy and Certification Track - to pass two fitness tests. 

• The pre-fitness test must be completed within 180 days of the first day of the Academy or the first day of the first 10-504-7XX class in the Associate Degree.

  • Students must turn in a copy of the pre-test completion certificate to the Public Safety Office before the first day of class as indicated above.

• A student will have as many opportunities as available to participate in the full fitness pre-test.

• Failure of one event in the test will result in a failure of the whole test.

• The post-exam is covered in class at the end of the program.

  • Students who fail the post-exam are allowed one retake opportunity. Failure of the retake results in failure of the program.
