The University may grant elective credit to students currently enrolled at the University who have served in the armed forces. The number of elective credits granted depends upon the length of military service.

Other military credit may be accepted for transfer, if such credit meets University requirements. The Guide to the Evaluation of Educational Experiences in the Armed Services is used by articulation personnel in the Registrar’s Office for determining transfer of credit.
Qualified applicants must submit the form DD214, form DD295, or an AARTS/SMART transcript to the Admissions Office. Credits are then evaluated for acceptance only when a Military Credit Evaluation form is submitted to articulation personnel in the Registrar’s Office. The form and instructions can be found online at: http://www.usu.edu/registrar/forms
AARTS/SMART Transcripts
Students who are eligible for an AARTS or SMART transcript should provide the Admissions Office with one of these, instead of the DD214 or DD295 form. For more information and to order transcripts online, visit the following websites:
