How To Transfer Military Training to College Credits

Grand Canyon University recommends all military students have a pre-evaluation of previous college and military experience to assist in determining if GCU is the right fit for their education goals. At GCU, our goal is to help make transferring military credits to a college degree as easy as possible.

As a military student, you may have earned college credits through military training and experience that can be evaluated by the Office of Academic Records. A military university counselor can help you determine how to transfer military training to college credits so that you can maximize your experience. They can also assist you in obtaining unofficial copies of college transcripts from all previous schools and universities as well as military service transcripts.
