Get College Credit for your Military Training

The Department of Defense (DoD) Voluntary Education (VolEd) Program, through the Defense Activity for Non-Traditional Education Support (DANTES), partners with the American Council on Education (ACE) to translate military learning experiences into comparable civilian postsecondary college credit. ACE evaluates military training, education and job experience to provide recommended credits on the Joint Services Transcript (JST).

ACE credit recommendations are based on evaluations conducted by college and university faculty members who are actively teaching in the areas they evaluate. These recommendations appear on the Joint Services Transcript (JST).
