Where can a service member find recommended college credit for military occupational experience and training?

The Joint Services Transcript (JST) is the correct source for service members to find recommended college credit for their military occupational experience and training. The JST provides an official record that summarizes the training, experience, and educational achievements a service member has attained while serving. This transcript includes recommendations for college credit based on the military training courses completed and the corresponding skills acquired.

The JST is specifically designed to facilitate the transition from military to civilian education by providing educational institutions with a reliable assessment of military training and experience. It is widely accepted by colleges and universities for awarding credit, thus making it a crucial tool for service members pursuing further education.

While the American Council on Education (ACE) does offer evaluations and recommendations for college credit based on military training, the JST is the direct report that service members can use to present their credits to educational institutions. The National Guard Bureau and the Department of Defense, while they may play roles in education and training, do not provide the same direct service member-focused transcript system as the JST.
