Department of Defense Tuition Assistance

Service members must speak with their respective Educational Services Officer (ESO) or counselor within their Military Service for approval prior to enrolling at 网赌正规真人实体在线平台. 

Military Transcripts

网赌正规真人实体在线平台 recognizes learning acquired in the military by accepting the credit recommendations of the Guide to the Evaluation of Educational Experiences in the Armed Services. In addition, you may earn credits awarded by institutions listed in the ACE National Guide to Educational Credit for Training Program and the Directory of the National Program on Non-collegiate Sponsored Instruction, provided that the courses are at college level.

Only those courses actually listed in these directories which have been approved for a specific period of time, and correspond to the actual time you completed the course, will be acceptable as college credit. Other non-collegiate training will be evaluated on a case by case basis.

• Credits will be evaluated only from official transcripts requested by the student from the American Council on Education's Registry of Credit Recommendations from the organization that provided the training.
• Military credits will be evaluated only from official military documents.

Please select one of the following entities that provide military transcripts based on your branch of service:

• Community College of the Air Force (CCAF): Air Force Enlisted
• Air University: Air Force Officers
• Joint Services Transcripts (JST): Army, Navy, Marines and Coast Guard

The VA policy indicates that all veteran student transfer credits (including military) must be evaluated within two quarters of program start. After the third quarter, if you don't submit all transcripts, you will be decertified for the use of the VA education benefits.
