Hey guys, a little stressed here as I'm planning to apply to Central Texas College as a military student. Can anyone shed some light on the process for military transcript submission and processing? Thanks in advance!
It's great that you're exploring your options with Central Texas College! As a military student, you'll have to go through a few additional steps to ensure your military transcripts get to the admissions team.
To start with, military transcripts generally can be obtained through the educational services or personnel office on most military installations. There are a few different types of military transcripts you might have based on your service branch:
- Joint Services Transcript (JST) for Army, Marine Corps, Navy, and Coast Guard
- Community College of the Air Force (CCAF) transcript for Air Force
Once you've obtained your transcripts, submitting them to Central Texas College typically involves mailing them directly from the service providing the transcripts to the admissions office. Make sure you send it to the correct address:

If you're intending to transfer credit from military training or coursework, Central Texas College may utilize the American Council on Education (ACE) recommendations when determining transferabililty.
Processing times for transcripts can vary, but it might take a few weeks for your transcripts to be received and another few weeks for them to be processed and evaluated. Keep this in mind as you plan to submit your application.
Lastly, I'd recommend reaching out to Central Texas College's Veterans Services office. They should be able to provide some student-specific advice and help guide you along the way. Good luck with your application!
