15. Military Education
As with other types of course work, the first step in determining
how to list military credit is to establish whether a transcript
is available.
If a transcript is not available from a military school directly,
- Army/ACE Registry System - U.S. Army active duty enlisted personnel
and veterans may obtain an Army/ACE Registry System (AARTS) transcript
providing they entered the service on or after October 1, 1981.
To contact AARTS, call 1-866-297-4427 or visit AARTS online.
- Sailor/Marine Corps Council on Education Registry Transcript
(SMART) - All active duty and reserve Sailors and Marines (enlisted
and officer) and those who separated or retired from active duty
on or after October 1, 1999 are eligible. Transcripts for separated
or retired Navy personnel who left the service from 1976 to October
1999 are also eligible and should have a transcript available
at the SMART web site;
personnel who fall into this category that cannot access their
transcripts can have one created. Call the Navy College Center
at 1-877-253-7122.
If a transcript is available directly from the military school
listing individual courses with letter grades (e.g., A, B, C, etc.)
and credit hours convertible to semester hours:
- Include the military school in your list of colleges attended.
- Enter course data as it appears on the transcript.
- AMCAS will include this course work in AMCAS GPAs.
If the transcript does not list individual courses with corresponding
grades and semester hours (or course units convertible to semester
hours), but the program attaches ACE credit recommendations to the
transcript:
You must:
- Include the military school in your list of colleges attended.
- Prepare a transcript request to be sent to the military.
- Enter course data as it appears on the ACE recommendations.
AMCAS will not include this course work in AMCAS GPAs; however,
AMCAS will include this course work in cumulative Pass/Fail - Pass
credit hour totals.
