Will Â鶹Æƽâ°æ accept my military credits?
Â鶹Æƽâ°æ (Â鶹Æƽâ°æ) will consider up to a maximum of 30 credits for transfer from a combination of military course work that the American Council on Education (ACE) has deemed appropriate for academic credit.
Transfer credit for work completed at a regionally accredited institution, such as the Community College of the Air Force or the American Military University, may be included in the overall cumulative total of 60Â transfer credits.
A committee comprised of faculty from various disciplines will determine if military credits may be applied towards the Â鶹Æƽâ°æ degree, and if so, how those credits will be articulated. Military credit may be articulated as Â鶹Æƽâ°æ course equivalent credit, subject elective credit, or general elective credit. Please note that the faculty committee may conduct its review of military credits after the student has enrolled at Â鶹Æƽâ°æ, after which the credits will be applied to the student's record.
