Earn Credit for your Military Service
The Academic Placement & Testing Center has responsibility for evaluating military transcripts and relies on the American Council on Education (ACE) “Service Members Opportunity College Guide” and the ACE website, for credit recommendations. There is no fee charged for this service or the transcription of credit.
All training must be documented with an official Military Joint Services Transcript (JST)
Steps for an Evaluation of Military Transcript/JST:
Request Documentation:
- Request your Military Individual Transcript/JST (except for Air Force)
- Request a Community College of the Air Force (CCAF) Transcript:
- Request Army and National Guard
- Request Marine Corps
Complete Request Form:
Complete the Military Transcript Evaluation Request Form and upload your Military JST.
The Credit for Life Learning Coordinator will receive your Military “Individual Transcript” for evaluation and posting of credit and will follow up with you and the college’s Veterans and Military Services Coordinator.
Important: The Academic Placement & Testing Center can use your “Individual Transcript” for review only. Understanding what credits will be recommended will be important during the academic advising process. The college will post credits to your official NECC transcript upon receipt of your “Institutional Transcript”. Please be advised that in some instances the Academic Placement & Testing Center will request the assistance of faculty members to review transcripts. Therefore, you should request both forms (Institutional and Individual) transcripts as early as possible.
The grade of S (Satisfactory) is assigned to all credits awarded for military training or standardized testing.
Please note that this list does not include all possible Military Educational Experiences that may be evaluated for academic credit at Northern Essex Community College.
