Transcripts

Each of the military services have developed methods for documenting military training that the American Council on Education (ACE) has evaluated for college credit. For information on obtaining your military transcript, simply select your service below.

Army - The Army uses the Army/American Council on Education Registry Transcript Service (AARTS) for documenting military training. If you are interested in obtaining an "institutional copy" of your AARTS transcript for admission to University of Phoenix Online, you must complete a DA Form 5454-R, Request for Army/American Council on Education Registry Transcript. Once completed, the form should be faxed to (913) 684-2011, DSN 552-2011, or mailed to: AARTS Operations Center, 415 McPherson Avenue, Fort Leavenworth, KS, 66027-1373.

Navy/Marines - The Navy uses the Sailor/Marine American Council on Education Registry Transcript (SMART) for documenting military training for all active duty Sailors/Marines, and for those that have separated or retired after October 1, 1999. If you are not eligible for a SMART, you must submit your DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty, or a DD Form 295, Application for Evaluation of Learning Experiences during Military Service, to obtain credit for your military training.

You may request an "institutional copy" of your SMART for admission to University of Phoenix Online, through the installation Navy College Office or Marine Corps Education Center.

Air Force - uses the Community College of the Air Force (CCAF) transcript for documenting all college credit worthy training received. Air Force enlisted personnel should complete an AF Form 2099, Request for Community College of the Air Force Transcript, at the base education office, and have the transcript sent directly to their Military Enrollment Advisor (transcripts sent directly to students are unofficial copies and will be stamped "Issued to Student"). If you are not located near an Air Force Base, you can send a written transcript request including your full name, Social Security Account Number, current address including ZIP Code, and your Military Enrollment Advisor's address. The letter must include your original signature, because that is the legal authorization for CCAF to release a transcript. Since the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS) regionally accredit CCAF, the Office of Admissions will evaluate the transcript just like any other transfer credits would be evaluated.

Coast Guard - uses the Coast Guard Transcript for documenting all college credit worthy training received. Before you may request a Coast Guard Transcript, you must first have completed a Coast Guard Institute (CGI) Form 1560/04e, Educational Assessment Worksheet.
