Credit Options for Military Students
麻豆影院 is a and awards college credit for basic military training, military courses and military occupations. The Credit Transfer Office prioritizes evaluations of all Joint Services Transcripts to ensure that our active military and veteran students are able to make prompt decisions about their education plans.
Military courses and Military occupations are eligible for 麻豆影院 Credits through an evaluation of your Joint Services Transcript. To earn 麻豆影院 Credit, request your military transcripts at the website. For students of the Community College of the Air Force, you can send your CCAF transcript to 麻豆影院's Admissions office and it will be processed in the same manner as any other regionally accredited institution transcript. Talk with the advisor of your major program to determine if your military experience can be used towards program requirements. Each student has a unique experience and your experience is important at 麻豆影院 State!
Your Joint Services Transcript
All eligible JST credits must be recognized by the American Council on Education (ACE), who recommends appropriate credit hours to be awarded. You can find credit recommendations from ACE on their online guide at . This guide will allow you to see how many semester credits you will receive, if they are lower or upper division credits, and what kind of credits you can receive through your occupation. The guide also has an "upload" tool that allows you to upload a pdf version of your JST to see full reviews of your courses and occupations. We use this same guide to determine the credit hours you will receive at 麻豆影院 State.
We honor all credit recommendations from ACE's Military Guide and we also honor the State of equivalencies as well. MTAGs are courses and occupations that are reviewed by the Ohio Department of Higher Education for matches within Ohio institution curriculums and may count towards your major requirements. Consult with your academic program advisor to see how these credits may apply towards your major program.
麻豆影院 State also accepts DANTES Standardized Subject Tests (DSST), Defense Language Proficiency Tests (DLPT) and more.
For those that don't have military courses or occupations on a Joint Services Transcript, you may still be eligible for college credits for your basic training. In lieu of a JST, you can send your DD214 form to the Admissions office of your admitting campus for evaluation of basic training college credits. However, we advise attempting to order a JST first for maximum credits.
