Credit for Military Service

Up to four semester hours of credit can be granted to individuals who present a copy of their DD214 after completing a minimum of one year of active duty. Such credit will be recorded on the student’s record after one year of attendance at WLU and the completion of a minimum of 24 hours of credit. These hours will be counted as general electives and will not replace any required courses; the credits will count toward graduation.

In addition to the four credit hours granted, students may be granted specific university credit for coursework completed in the military, if credit is recommended by the American Council on Education (ACE). Students completing university credits need to submit a military transcript to the Registrar’s Office.
