Much of the training an individual has received in the various branches of the service is eligible for credit awards. Often the credit does not have direct equivalent credit in the university environment due to the unique applications of military training. However, the credits can serve as unspecified upper or lower level courses depending on the ACE recommendations.

See the ACE Military Guidelines for Evaluation website for further information: http://www.militaryguides.acenet.edu/

Proper documentation is required to obtain the credit. There are no fees for evaluation of military records.
