Taking Educational Advantage of Your Military Training
Follow the links below to find out more about the possibilities of earning an associate degree through John Wood Community College while serving in the U.S. military or as a veteran.
Credit for Military Experience/Training
JWCC will automatically award 4 hours of college elective credit for basic military training to enrolled students who provide copies of their DD214 to our registrar’s office. We also award credit for military training and experience based upon SMART & AARTS transcripts, CLEP, DANTES, DSST, and the ACE Military Guide recommendations. The American Council on Education’s (ACE) Guide to the Evaluation of Educational Experiences in the Armed Services
has been the standard reference work for recognizing learning acquired in the military for more than half a century.
If you would like to have a SOC evaluation of your academic records by JWCC, please complete the following steps after enrolling in JWCC classes. Please note that you must be an enrolled student at John Wood Community College before the requested SOC evaluation will be completed.
ALL documents should be submitted to the following address:
Office of the Registrar
John Wood Community College
