Armed Services Educational Experiences

Credit may be awarded for advanced academic and technical military educational experiences that have been evaluated and recommended as suitable for postsecondary credit by the American Council on Education (ACE) in its Guide to the Evaluation of Educational Experiences in the Armed Services. Recommendations in the ACE guide are advisory in nature and are not binding upon the College. Additionally, the Board of Governors and State Board of Education adopted the Articulation Coordinating Committee Policy regarding the evaluation and awarding of credit for prior military training and established procedures to award credit for military trainings and occupations. This led to the development of a statewide credit for military experience equivalency list. Students may initiate the request for such credit once they have met all admission requirements to an applicable program of study. In order for an evaluation to take place, students must provide appropriate documentation as determined by the College. Credit will be awarded only for courses which can be used to meet specific program requirements and offered at PHSC.
