A veteran or member of the active armed forces, National Guard or Reserve component who is a student may be eligible for credit for educational experiences in the armed forces. Appropriate academic departments will determine transferability of course credits. Credit recommendations in the Guide to the Evaluation of Education Experiences in the Armed Forces (published by the American Council on Education) for military service school training will be considered for transfer credit as follows:
- Credit granted for college-level, baccalaureate-oriented training and education will be accepted following the standard transfer of credit policy
- Vocational credit related to the student’s curriculum choice will be referred for consideration to the chair/director (faculty in the College of Health Sciences and the College of Arts, Science & Education) of the department teaching related content
- Duplicate credit will not be considered. Applicability of military credit toward particular degree requirements is determined by the chair/director (faculty in CHS and CASE) of the department from which the degree is offered.
