Transfer Credit for Military Experience

Transfer Credit for Military Experience

Charter Oak State College strives to serve the nation's military and public service communities by offering a comprehensive review of all previous academic, military, civilian, and public education and training for potential credit toward degree and certificate programs.

Most military training and experience is reviewed for college credit equivalence by the American Council on Education (ACE). The Air Force has its own regionally accredited community college. The College recommends you review your military transcripts to ensure that full transfer credit for your specific military experience is awarded. Credit may be given in accordance with ACE Guide recommendations. The Joint Services Transcript (JST) is now the official transcript for Army, Marine Corps, Navy and Coast Guard personnel that validates and documents the recommended college credits for professional military education, training courses and occupational experience of service members and veterans. 

Those serving (or have served) in the Air Force, Air Guard or Reserves must submit the Community College of the Air Force transcripts. Get information about military academic records. Other military records may be necessary for specialty occupations or schools (including the DD-214, 2-1, Officer Record Brief (ORB), DEOMI, Command and General Staff College, etc.)

Charter Oak State College makes every effort to provide its students with the maximum amount of credit for their previous education and training. Charter Oak State College adheres to the standards of good practice set forth by its accrediting bodies while maintaining the overall integrity for which its degree and certificate programs are known.
