Credit for Military Service

 

The College grants academic credit for learning acquired in the military in accordance with the Guide to the Evaluation of Educational Experiences in the Armed Services. The one exception to this is that the College will not accept military service as physical education credit unless it is taken concurrently with the student’s enrollment at the College.
