What is the JST?

Many Service members are eligible for college course credit at academic institutions based on knowledge already gained during military service. Through DANTES' Military Training Evaluation Program (MTEP), a service member's learning from military training, education, and occupational experiences is evaluated by the American Council on Education (ACE) and documented on the Joint Services Transcript (JST). Your JST is an official academic record that contains college credit recommendations based on your military experience, academic exam scores (e.g. CLEP, DSST, etc.), and academic courses completed while in the military.

Each college or university evaluates the college credit recommendations on your JST to determine the amount of transfer credit you will receive. The credit may be applied to meet degree requirements in the area of the degree major, general education, or electives.

Each academic institution establishes its own credit transfer, acceptance policies and procedures. You are strongly encouraged to contact your prospective school’s admissions office for specific information about transferring credits.

Eligibility

All enlisted, officers and warrant officers, "actively serving" and veterans, from the Army, Marine Corps, Navy and Coast Guard, National Guard and Reserve components are eligible for the JST. Air Force personnel should contact CCAF to receive their military transcripts.

Air Force personnel, who attended joint training offered by another Service, should email JST Operations at [e-mail] to have a JST created.
