I've taken some math courses on MarineNet and was wondering if these can be transferred to a college for credit. Has anyone done this or knows if colleges accept MarineNet credits?
While it's true that many colleges accept credits from various sources, whether they'll accept credits from MarineNet really depends on the individual institution. Most accredited colleges and universities have their specific policies in regard to accepting non-traditional credits, which often include military training. They typically evaluate these on a case-by-case basis.
For math courses or any other courses you've taken through MarineNet, it's a good idea to contact the admissions or transfer credit offices at the college or university you're interested in. Provide them with as much detail as possible about the MarineNet courses including curriculum, hours of instruction, etc., to help them make a decision.
In addition, if you have not done so already, it could be worthwhile to request a Joint Services Transcript (JST). The JST 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.
Ultimately, the recognition of these credits is subject to the discretion of each college or university, so it's best to reach out to them directly to understand their policies and processes. Remember that even if your credits are not accepted towards your specific degree program, they could still potentially count as general education, elective, or prerequisite courses.
