Review ACE recommendations for credit allotments. Credits are counted on a semester hour basis. Typically, a semester credit hour is determined by the total number of instruction hours per week rounded up. For example, colleges consider a class that meets twice a week for one hour 20 minutes each session to be a three-credit course.
Consult the transfer coordinator at your college for your college's specific transfer policy. Each college or university determines its own policy for accepting credits. ACE recommendations inform and advise credit evaluators, but ACE cannot enforce its recommendations. Consider other schools if your choice does not accept military training credits. Over 2,300 colleges and universities recognize ACE credit evaluations.
Request an ACE-endorsed transcript. The Army and Navy, including the Marine Corps, provide registry transcript services for all service members. Army/American Council on Education Registry Transcript System (AARTS) maintains a database of over four million soldier records and can issue official transcripts within two business days of request. The Air Force and Coast Guard have transcript service centers that can provide transcripts upon request as well.
