Military Credit

UAA is a ArmyIgnitEd school and participates in the Air Force Education Portal and the My Career Advancement Program offered to spouses. UAA accepts DSST Exams (formerly DANTES) and CLEP exams and evaluates military training for admitted degree-seeking students. UAA requires and collects transcripts from all institutionally accredited and foreign institutions attended. Transfer credit is applied upon review of each transcript.

All of the US military service academics are regionally accredited universities. Coursework will transfer using the same guidelines as any other transfer institution.

Air Force

Most US Air Force airmen are enrolled in Community College of the Air Force (CCAF) to document their training. Order a CCAF transcript as part of your admissions process and complete a Request for Evaluation of CCAF Credit form with your academic advisor.
