A student’s military training, courses, and occupational specialty can all be considered for college credit. Military service credit in the occupational/technical areas (i.e., Engineering) may require approval by appropriate academic school dean prior to award.
In order to receive credit for your military training, a student must submit a military transcript.
NOTE: If only the DD214 is submitted, the student will receive one credit of HLT/PED.
Each branch of the service has its own transcript request service. Depending on the branch in which you served, a transcript can be requested at the following locations:
