Subject: UC to Award Credit for Military Courses
The University of California’s Board on Admissions and Relations With Schools approved the awarding of lower-division transfer credit of U.S. military courses, using American Council on Education guidelines, as a starting point. In instances where there is an equivalent course taught at a UC campus, UC will give credit for military coursework. Although there may not be many courses deemed as transferable, and most will simply yield elective credit, any units granted could assist students in graduating from UC in a timely fashion.
Future applicants should list courses completed as a part of military service on the admission application. Upon admission, students will be required to submit official transcripts (SMART, AARTS, etc.) of the coursework.
