Hey there, I've served in the military and am now thinking about furthering my education. How do I get my military college transcripts? Is there an official process or a service that could assist me with this?
Glad to hear you're planning to further your education! As both an active military member and a veteran, you can obtain your military college transcripts through a service called the Joint Services Transcript (JST). This is an academically accepted document approved by the American Council on Education (ACE) to validate your military occupational experience and training along with the corresponding ACE college credit recommendations.
To request your Joint Services Transcript, follow these steps:
1. Visit the JST website and click on "REGISTER/LOGIN” to create an account or to access your existing account.
2. Once you've logged in, click on the "Transcripts" menu, and then click "Official Transcript Request."
3. You will need to include the details of the institution where you'd like your transcripts sent.
There is no fee associated with this service. Your transcripts will be sent electronically within two business days after your request is received. Also, remember that the JST may not include all potential credits. If you've also taken courses through another institution such as the Community College of the Air Force (CCAF) or DANTES, you'll need to request that transcript separately.
I wish you all the best with your educational pursuits!
