Military Experience
As a service member, credits earned through specific military training and national testing programs can help you complete your undergraduate degree even sooner.
Additional information about military transfer options can be found in our military programs. University of Phoenix also offers service members the Associate of Arts through Credit Recognition degree program (AACR).
Each of the military services has developed methods for documenting military training that the American Council on Education (ACE) has evaluated for college credit and that you may be able to apply to your University of Phoenix undergraduate degree program.
For information about obtaining your military transcript, simply select your service below:
-
The Army uses the Army/American Council on Education Registry Transcript Service (AARTS) for documenting military training. If you are interested in obtaining a personal copy for a pre-evaluation, you can print one from the following website: http://aarts.army.mil/.
To forward an official copy to University of Phoenix, visit the website and choose 'Get an AARTS Web Transcript' and 'Official Transcript.' Enter your information, and choose University of Phoenix from the drop down menu. The transcript will be sent electronically. -
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 who 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.
If you are interested in obtaining a personal copy for a pre-evaluation, you can print one from the following website: https://www.navycollege.navy.mil.You should review a copy of your personal transcript BEFORE requesting it be sent to your institution. This will allow you to have any changes made and provide the institution with the most accurate, up-to-date information regarding your experience and training. Visit https://smart.navy.mil to print or view your individual (unofficial) transcript.

The 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 University of Phoenix Military Enrollment Representative (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 Representative'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 accredits CCAF, the Office of Admissions will evaluate the transcript just like any other transfer credits would be evaluated. For more information, contact the CCAF at https://www.au.af.mil/au/ccaf.
University of Phoenix is an Air University Associate to Baccalaureate Cooperative (AU ABC) partner. For more information contact your local Air Force Education Office, your University of Phoenix representative, or visit the Academic Institution Portal. -
The 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 complete an Application for Voluntary Education Services (CGI 1561). A copy of this form is available from the following website: http://www.uscg.mil/hq/cgi/.
