Transfer credits from exams and military experience

You may be eligible to receive credit for selected formal military course work and training. Redstone College uses the credit recommendations of the American Council on Education’s (ACE) Guide for the Evaluation of Educational Experiences in the Armed Services to evaluate both military classroom and experiential training. This council continuously evaluates military schools, correspondence courses and occupations to determine the amount of college-level credit available. DANTES and CLEP exams can also be submitted for consideration. Based on the applicability of the particular examination to programs at the college you may be eligible to receive course credit. We recommended checking with the campus before taking any exam to ensure the credit can be transferred into your degree program. Each service branch has its own system for recording military education and experience credits and can provide copies of your transcripts. Coursework or training must be similar in scope and credits to a Redstone course in order to receive credit for a particular class.

*Financial aid available to those who qualify

†Participating in the Redstone alumni retraining is tuition-free for qualified graduates. Additional costs such as online lab fees, books and supplies are the responsibility of the student. Retraining is limited to the program from which the student graduated and is subject to class and space availability.
