Supervisory Leadership Institute

We will only accept applications for graduates of the SLI program during the current academic calendar year in which they graduated from the program.  Past years will not be accepted. 

• You are eligible for 9 upper division undergraduate units in three courses: 3 units in CRJU 410: Police Administration, 3 units in CRJU 490: Special Topics in Criminal Justice in Police Leadership, and 3 units in CRJU 497: Independent Study. When you register for the course you must register for all three courses. You cannot split them up into 3 or 6 unit increments.
• You are also eligible for 6 graduate units in two courses:  3 units in CRJU 690: Special Topics: Leadership, 3 units in CRJU 690: Special Topics: Advanced Leadership. When you register for the course you must register for both courses. You cannot split them up into 3 unit increments.
• You are not eligible for both undergraduate and graduate credit.  You may only choose one. 

• First you must contact Hillary Edwards (562-985-4940) to place your name on the waitlist for the next available cohort. At this time you will be provided with an application for the College of Professional and Continuing Education (CPaCE). Once your application is received you will be placed in the queue for the next section of the course. Each cohort must have 16 applicants before the class can begin. The classes coincide with the summer semester. 

• Undergraduate Credit - The cost per unit is $99, the total cost is $891.  The college is waiving the registration fees for this course.
• Graduate Credit - The cost per unit is $315, the total cost is $1890.  The college is waiving the registration fees for this course. 
• The CSU makes every effort to keep student costs to a minimum. Fees listed in published schedules may need to be increased when public funding is inadequate. Therefore, CSU must reserve the right, even after fees are initially charged or initial fee payments are made, to increase or modify any listed fees. All listed fees, other than mandatory system-wide fees, are subject to change without notice, until the date when instruction for a particular semester or quarter has begun. All CSU listed fees should be regarded as estimates that are subject to change upon approval by the Board of Trustees, the Chancellor, or the Presidents, as appropriate.

• Undergraduate Credit - Each student will be required to upload their written assignments for each of the eight sessions, including your adaptive leadership final project (not just the executive summary), to BeachBoard, the campus’ e-learning environment. Before the course begins you will be given instructions on how to upload your materials to the website. Two instructors from the School of Criminology, Criminal Justice, and Emergency Management will review each assignment and grade them on a credit/no credit basis. College credits are earned based on your work performed during the course and enrollment in this cohort.
• Graduate Credit - Students will be required to submit the full completed Adaptive Leadership Project (not just the executive summary) along with an additional research paper based on their Adaptive Leadership Project.  The course syllabus will outline the paper requirements and deadlines.  Two instructors from the School of Criminology, Criminal Justice, and Emergency Management will review the assignment and grade it on a credit/no credit basis. College credits are earned based on your work performed during the course and your Adaptive Leadership Project research paper.

• No. You may only register for the credit during the academic school year in which you attended the SLI Course.

Yes, college transcripts are available upon completion of the course through CSULB Enrollment Services.
