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.
