Military training credit

The student requests an official Joint Services Transcript and submits it to the registrar. Evaluators match ACE recommendations to the institution’s courses or electives. Accepted credit is posted to the transcript with a notation indicating its military origin. Degree-audit systems apply the credit, respecting any caps on non-traditional credit. The student is notified of the remaining requirements.

Example: a veteran’s Joint Services Transcript lists ACE-recommended credit equivalent to 12 semester hours in leadership and logistics. The online institution accepts 9 hours as elective credit and 3 hours as a major elective. The student’s degree plan is shortened by four courses.

Credit by examination uses standardized civilian tests. Portfolio-based prior-learning assessment evaluates undocumented experience rather than formal military courses. Traditional transfer credit comes from another accredited college.
