Summary

This four-part guide describes how service members can receive college credits for their military training and experience. Each volume provides instructions for finding and using exhibits and recommendations, as well as information on awarding credit for extrainstitutional learning, transfer and award of credit, and a model policy on awarding such credit. Volume 1 contains recommendations for formal courses offered by the Army, Army Reserve, and Army National Guard. Each course exhibit has these components: identification number; military course number with course version numbers and titles; location; length; exhibit dates; learning outcomes; instruction; credit recommendation; and related occupational codes. Volume 2 contains recommendations for Army enlisted and warrant officer military occupational specialties (MOS). Each MOS exhibit has these components: identification number; title and MOS designation; career management field; description; and recommendation. Volumes 3 and 4 contain recommendations for formal courses offered by the Navy and by the Air Force, Coast Guard, Marine Corps, and Department of Defense, respectively. Each course exhibit has the same components as those for courses in Volume 1. Coast Guard Rating exhibits, Coast Guard Warrant Officer exhibits, and Marine Corps exhibits have generally the same components as those in Volume 2. Appendixes to the volumes may contain a keyword index, course number index, occupational title indexes, and sample military records. (YLB)
