University credit for military experience and training

Students who wish to have their military experience and training evaluated for university credit should submit copies of appropriate forms to the registrar's office. Veterans should submit DD Form 214, and active duty military personnel should submit DD Form 295. Active duty Army personnel and soldiers discharged since October 1, 1986, should also provide the registrar with copies of their Army/American Council on Education Registry Transcripts.

The university accepts as transfer credit completion of formal military courses as recommended by the American Council on Education (ACE) when verified through official transcripts (Army/ACE registry Transcript System, Community College of the Air Force, Sailor/ Marine/ACE Registry Transcript, Registry of Credit Recommendations, or National Registry for Training Programs). Additionally, credit may also be awarded through review of a student's certified Department of Defense (DD) Form 214 (Armed forces of the United States Report of Transfer or Discharge) in conjunction with the ACE Handbook, Evaluation of Educational Experiences in the Armed Forces.

Credit will be applied to a degree program upon the approval of the Chair of the Department from which the degree is to be awarded.
