College Credit for Military Experience and Training

As a participant in the Servicemembers Opportunity Colleges consortium, Armstrong Atlantic State University provides service members with an option to petition for credit for military education/training when deemed applicable to a degree program. Upon acceptance, students may request a review of their military education/training to determine possible academic credit. Students should submit official documentation of military education/training (AARTS, SMART, or Community College of the Air Force transcript) to the admissions office and their academic advisor for evaluation of degree-related training. Service members may be awarded three semester hours of physical activity credit and eight semester hours of military science credit upon receipt of official documentation of military education/training. Additional academic credit for military education may be granted for highly specialized academic training (e.g., foreign language schools) if applicable to the service member's degree program.

Students with a declared major may petition the Armstrong department head responsible for the courses in question. Adequate documentation must be provided by the student and accompany each request. Proper documentation will include a complete syllabus of the course under review, school catalog, textbook description, and prerequisite track.

The petition for credit must be completed during the first semester of attendance, by completing a Military Transfer Credit Agreement Form and by submitting it to Enrollment Services in Victor Hall.
