ALTERNATIVES TO AARTS

If you are not eligible for an AARTS transcript or your status has changed from eligible to ineligible (i.e., warrant officer or officer with prior enlisted service, or you switched from Army to another service), you can still request college credit for your military education and experience. Check with the institution you plan to attend to see what documents they require. The following information is provided as a guide to help you acquire the necessary paperwork that institutions may be looking for. You may also want to visit our links and referrals page (especially if you have time with any of the other military services) which contains information to help you obtain other documents that institutions might use in evaluating your military education and experience.

ACTIVE MEMBERS. See your Army Education Center or Education Services Officer for a DD Form 295 (Application For The Evaluation of Learning Experiences During Military Service) if you fall into any of the following categories:

• Officers and warrant officers with no prior enlisted service (until further notice).

• Any member of a military service other than the Army.

VETERANS. If you fall into any of the following categories, provide your DD Form 214 or NGB Form 22 and any course completion certificates you have for evaluation to the Veteran's Affairs Office at your institution:

• Any Officer or Warrant Officer Veteran of the Regular Army, Army National Guard or US Army Reserve who does not have prior enlisted service (until further notice).

• Any veteran of a military service other than the Army.
