Military Credit Evaluation

Credit for Military Training & Experience

In recognition of the advanced academic and technical content of many military educational experiences, Eastern Florida may grant appropriate credits for military training that is evaluated by the American Council of Education (ACE) as suitable for postsecondary credit.

In January 2021, the Board of Governors and Florida's State Board of Education adopted a guiding policy known as Articulation Coordinating Committee Policy Regarding the Evaluation and Awarding of Credit for Prior Military Training [View and download policy PDF]. To view articulated courses under the state policy, please refer to the state's Credit or Clock Hour for Military Experience Equivalency List.  Courses not listed will be evaluated at the discretion of the College to award this credit; recommendations in the ACE Guide are advisory only and not binding on the College.

Credits will appear on the student’s transcript as earned credit with an "S" grade only. No duplicate credit may be earned. A maximum of 45 semester hours of combined credit from accelerated mechanisms and/or prior learning assessment can be applied toward a degree.

Students who wish to receive transfer credit for military service in the Army, Marine Corps, Navy and Coast Guard must provide an official Joint Services Transcript (JST). Order transcripts at the JST website.

Students who wish to receive transfer credit for service in the Air Force must provide an official transcript from the Air University. Order transcripts at the Air University website.

Eastern Florida does not accept certificates or other training documents for evaluation.
