Stumped about how your military training and education can translate into college credits?

The American Council on Education has published a 51-page transfer guide to help service members and veterans understand transcripts and how their military training is translated into college credit.

ACE officials say they often hear from service members who are frustrated that the amount of college credit they receive for their military training falls short of their expectations.

“We are hopeful this guide will provide information to these men and women who serve our nation so they receive credit, when appropriate, for their military education and training,” said Jim Selbe, ACE assistant vice president for lifelong learning and a 20-year Marine Corps veteran.

Eight service members from the various branches provided input to the guide, helping ACE officials improve the final version.
