Military Training

OVERVIEW

MILITARY EXPERIENCE

Muskegon Community College (MCC) will evaluate your military credits for possible award of transfer credits after your official transcript has been received and you have been admitted to the College.
• Military transcripts will be evaluated within approximately six to eight weeks and may take an extended amount of time to be evaluated due to sending recommendations to departments for approval.
• Muskegon Community College will try to award direct course equivalencies. When direct equivalencies are not available, an elective in an appropriate academic subject may be awarded. MCC is unable to grant credit for military specific credit.

JOINT SERVICES TRANSCRIPT (JST)

JST is the Joint Services Transcript that has replaced the Coast Guard Institute Transcript, the Army/American Council on Education Registry Transcript (AARTS) and the Sailor/Marine American Council on Education Registry Transcript (SMART). JST is an academically accepted document approved by the American Council on Education (ACE) to validate a service member’s military occupation experience and training along with the corresponding ACE college credit recommendation. For additional information on Military Transcript Evaluation visit ACE | Military Programs and check out Joint Service Transcript (JST) Video.
