Credit for Prior Learning

Trident recognizes that many of our students have acquired knowledge outside of a traditional academic environment. Credit for prior learning at Trident may be earned in a variety of ways:

Military Credit

Trident grants undergraduate credit for military education as recommended by the American Council on Education's (ACE) Guide to the Evaluation of Educational Experiences in the Armed Services in accordance with transfer credit policies at Trident. Students must submit an up-to-date official Joint Service Transcripts (JST) to the Office of the Registrar.

Transcripts may be obtained through the appropriate home pages at:

  • ARMY: https://jst.doded.mil
  • NAVY/MARINES: https://jst.doded.mil
  • AIR FORCE: Transcripts from the Community College of the Air Force (CCAF) at http://www.au.af.mil/au/ccaf/transcripts.asp
  • COAST GUARD: https://jst.doded.mil
  • For additional informational links, visit the ACE website at http://www.acenet.edu/higher-education/Pages/Military-Students-and-Veterans.aspx.

Military credit posted on a Joint Services Transcript (JST) will be posted to the student’s record if it fulfills graduation requirements at Trident. Military credit that is identified as vocational may be subject to the Professional, Technical, and Vocational Credit policy.
