CALCULATING DCEGT AWARDS

activein force · 2026-05-07 – presentact-effective-date

DSCC staff calculate and award DCEGT after verifying the D.C. Code offender’s eligibility in

accordance with this program statement. If D.C. Code offenders believe they meet the eligibility

requirements they may advise the Supervisor of Education (SOE) they are D.C. Code offenders

and request DCEGT via a BP-A0148, Inmate Request to Staff.

a. SOE Responsibilities. The SOE completes Part 1 of the BP-A0711, D.C. Educational Good

Time (DCEGT) form, certifying the D.C. Code offender’s:

■ successful completion of or withdrawal from a DCEGT designated program,

■ periods(s) of enrollment (specific dates), and

■ maximum allowed DCEGT for the program.

This form is only completed when a D.C. Code offender completes or withdraws from an eligible

program.

The SOE signs and dates the form. Education staff forward a scanned copy (in .pdf format) to

DSCC staff via email, with a copy to the local Correctional Systems staff, within three working

days.

b. DSCC Staff Responsibilities. Upon receiving the BP-A0711, DSCC staff complete Part 2

by:

■ certifying the D.C. Code offender’s discipline status while enrolled in the program using the

applicable Bureau inmate management system’s chronological disciplinary record,

■ calculating and awarding the authorized amount of DCEGT, including updates in the

applicable Bureau inmate management system, and

■ filing the applicable Bureau inmate management system’s chronological disciplinary record

and the BP-A0711 in the D.C. Code offender’s DSCC file.
