Transferring Military Credits: To receive college credit for your service, have your branch send us a Military Transcript. Find more information on submitting a transcript.
Our transcript evaluators generally award generic college credit for military service, although you can contact the academic department to apply for credit toward specific courses. For example, you could be awarded general credit in Computer Information Technology, but contact the Computer Information Technology department to get credit for CIT 215.
