Military Credit
Military Credit
Most military training and experience is reviewed for college credit equivalence by the American Council on Education (ACE) and reflected on the JST (Joint Services Transcript) or from the regionally accredited Community College of the Air Force. The American Council on Education's (ACE) "Guide to the Evaluation of Educational Experiences in the Armed Services" will be used to evaluate military experience. ACE credit recommendations are used in the transfer process but do not guarantee a total number of credits in transfer as not all credits may be applicable towards the chosen degree.
Military credits are awarded with grades of P and are considered transfer US credit for purposes of graduation. Credits in physical education and marksmanship/arms are not transferable, Specialty Internship credits from the Community College of the Air Force are not transferable.

Up to 90 credits in total from Military, Corporate or Workforce non-collegiate Training Programs/Certificates or Apprenticeships recommended for credit by ACE can be transferred provided they are degree applicable.
