Use Your AARTS To Obtain
College Credit. Click here for more programs from the Veterans Administration. |
If you are a veteran, reservist, or currently enlisted servicemember of the Army or Army National Guard, and are planning on attending college now or upon separation, the Army/American Council on Education Registry Transcript System (AARTS) is available to help you receive college credits for the military training and coursework you completed during active duty.
For more than a half century, the Military Evaluations program of ACE has been evaluating formal military courses and occupations in terms of their equivalent academic credit. The results of these evaluations are published every two years in The Guide to the Evaluation of Educational Experiences in the Armed Services, the standard reference tool used by colleges and universities for awarding college credits for military training.
AARTS transcripts offer a consolidated record of the servicemember’s experiences, from courses, to examinations, to military occupations. The transcripting process is fully automated, combining course and occupation evaluations with college credit recommendation from the Guide with data from official military service training and personnel records.
Servicemembers are encouraged to take advantage of this opportunity to receive college credits for their completed military training, and all of it is free of charge. Before you separate from the Army, you should request an AARTS transcript containing your military educational experiences.
