Transfer Credits at Lackawanna College for Military Students

Hello, I'm in the military and considering transferring some of my service experience into college credits. Does anyone know how Lackawanna College handles this for military students? Have heard a lot of different policies about this from different colleges, would love to get a clear picture on Lackawanna's policy.

Hello there! Lackawanna College values the service and experiences of military students and acknowledges that these experiences can translate to meaningful college-level knowledge. In this spirit, the college is dedicated to the evaluation of military training for college credit.

Your military training, education, and occupational experiences can be evaluated through the Joint Services Transcript (JST) program, a document that validates your military occupational experience and training along with corresponding ACE (American Council on Education) credit recommendations. Lackawanna College, like many other educational institutions, could use the JST for awarding potential transfer credits. Please keep in mind that this doesn't guarantee all credits will be transferred, but it helps to provide a systematic way of evaluating them.

It's strongly recommended to contact Lackawanna College's military liaison, who would guide you through the college’s process for military training evaluation. They can provide a more precise understanding about which courses or training align with their academic programs, ensuring you would receive an appropriate number of transfer credits based on your military experiences.

Also, note that different programs could have different limitations or conditions, so it's in your best interest to have open communication with an academic advisor or admissions representative who understands the nuances of transfer credits.

Remember, every college has their own specific policy on credit transfer, so what works for one might not for another. Good luck with your academic journey!
