As a service member, credits earned through the assessment of prior
college-level learning and national testing programs can help you complete your
undergraduate degree even sooner.
University of Phoenix also offers service members the Associate of Arts
through military Credit Recognition degree program (AACR). The AACR degree
program acknowledges that many service members may have already achieved an
education equivalent to that of an associate’s degree through college
coursework, military training and national testing programs.
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 degree
program. For information about obtaining your military transcript, simply select

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.
