James Madison University recognizes and values the experience of our students who have served and are currently serving in the U.S. military.
- The JMU Transfer Credit Equivalency Guide can be used to determine the credit you may receive based on your prior credit and military experience earned from the Joint Services Transcript (JST; listed under American Council on Education [ACE]) and Community College of the Air Force (CCAF). The Office of the Registrar will formally evaluate military training and experience for admitted and enrolled students who submit the official transcript directly to JMU.
- Six hours of university elective credits may be awarded for a servicemember or Veteran with at least one year of active duty service listed on their DD-214.
For questions regarding transfer credit for military education and training, please contact the Office of the Registrar at 540-568-6281 (menu option #2) or transfer_credit@jmu.edu.
