NCU works with the American Council on Education (ACE), the U.S. Department of Defense and individual branches of the military to translate your military training and experience into academic credit.

Instructions for requesting official transcripts for each military branch follow. Because the transcript systems of the armed services are not linked and or cross referenced, we recommend you request an official transcript from each service branch in which you served.

US Air Force

The Community College of the Air Force (CCAF) provides transcripts detailing ACE recommended credits.  Please follow the applicable instructions to order an official copy and have it mailed directly to NCU. Transcripts are generally received from the CCAF within 14 days.
Note: CCAF provides transcripts for all air force military training and experience even if you did not attend classes at CCAF.)

US Army

ACE recommended credits are included in your AARTS transcript. Proceed to the secure website, then select the Official Transcripts option. Processing normally takes a few days.

US Coast Guard

ACE recommended credits must be obtained through the Coast Guard Institute (CGI). To request your transcripts, you must complete and sign the required form(s). Be sure to include NCU’s name and address to insure we receive your official transcript by mail.

US Navy and US Marine Corps

ACE recommended credits are included in your SMART transcript and can also be requested by mail. Select and print the Official SMART Request Form and mail  to the address provided on the form. To expedite requests, choose the electronic process under the Active Duty/Reserve link. Please be sure you select the option that allows NCU permission to download your official transcript through the Internet. The process will only take a few days.

DANTES, DSST, and CLEP Tests

An official transcript must be requested from Thomson/Prometric to receive academic credit for experiential learning tested through DANTES, DSST, or CLEP. Select the applicable links then print the transcript request form(s) found on the Prometric website. You may also wish to visit the Department of Defense's Voluntary Education website.
