Tuition and Fees
As stated before, the National Protective Services Institute is not currently accredited. Therefore, the rates at this time can be substantially lower than they will be in the future once accreditation has been approved. However, it also means that we are currently unable to accept most government financial aid, the Montgomery GI Bill, and most corporate tuition assistance. Please understand that the low tuition and fees are not an indication of quality of the program or the expected quality of academic performance. The curriculum will remain substantially the same once the program is started, but changes will be made in accordance with accreditation agency requests. The changes in curriculum may be required by all students, past or present, in order to receive college credit for completing the approved program, in accordance with accreditation agency directives.
In addition to minor associated application and other general fees, the current tuition fees are $33 per credit hour. Once accredited, tuition will be much higher. Transferred hours or credit-by-examination hours are $10.00 per credit hour assessed.

The National Protective Services Institute (NPSI) believes all people should have the opportunity to develop skills and knowledge to increase their ability to perform their jobs. Resources permitting, and as long as the standards are maintained, instruction shall be adapted to the individual student needs. This principle applies to flexibility in instructional strategies while maintaining high academic standards.
Integrity Policy
Academic integrity is the foundation for success. Breaches of this integrity constitute serious offenses against the academic community and the profession. Students, staff members, and faculty members should adhere to the following guideline:
Students may graduate under the terms of the catalog in effect when they entered the National Protective Services Institute or any subsequent catalog under which they attended, provided: A) said catalog is not more than 5 years old, and B) the student’s particular degree or certificate plan has not been discontinued by the Institute. Students with majors that are discontinued will be allowed two years in which to complete such plans before the official deactivation of the affected instructional program. If two years is exceeded, some credit may not transfer directly to another degree program, but may be used for elective credit. Students needing more information about this policy should contact an academic advisor.
For more policies, please see the current National Protective Services Institute catalog.
