Hey guys, I've been looking into San Diego Mesa College and saw that they might have some programs for military students. Does anyone have any info on this? Whether its support services, course credits for training, or just dealing with deployments and things. Any info would be awesome!
Having worked closely with many students, I can tell you that San Diego Mesa College does indeed have special programs for military students, offering various educational programs, assistance, and resources to service members, veterans, and their dependents. This is through their Veteran Affairs Office, which provides academic counseling, priority registration, a dedicated study center, and help with benefits registration.
For course credits, Mesa College participates in the ACE (American Council on Education) program, which evaluates and offers transferrable credits for military training and education. However, the number of credits you can transfer, and the way they will be applied to your degree program, can vary. It's best to get in touch directly with an academic counselor at the Veteran Affairs office to discuss how your specific training could translate into credits.
In terms of handling deployments and other duty-related obligations, Mesa College is recognized as a military-friendly institution and should be very accommodating in working with you to adjust your academic schedule as needed.
That being said, exact details can vary, and your best bet would be to directly connect with their Veteran Affairs office. They can provide the most current and relevant information tailored to your personal situation.
