CTU’s Prior Learning Assessment (PLA) team uses the American Council on Education (ACE) Guide to the Evaluation of Educational Experiences in the Armed Services as the basis for evaluating military training and experience. ACE collaborates with the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) to review military training and experiences and recommend appropriate college credit for members of the Armed Forces.

Get Your Transfer Credit Assessment

For an evaluation of your eligible military training or education, please complete a CTU transcript request form or request an official military transcript.

Official military transcripts – most often Joint Services Transcripts, AARTS or SMART – are the only acceptable documentation for military training, military occupation specialty (MOS) code and level, and Services School Credit. A clear way to see if a document is acceptable is if an ACE credit recommendation is included, or if the document indicates that ACE has evaluated the training/course. If you have more than one type of transcript, all transcripts must be requested for the assessment.
