HB 032 College Credit for Veterans

This legislation modified 2013 HB 254 to require institutions to provide written notification to each student applying for admission that they are required to meet with a college counselor (or advisor) in order to receive credit for military service and training.

Students Veterans using any VA Educational Benefits:

  • If you are using VA educational funds for schooling you are required by the VA to submit all transcripts to the incoming transfer credit office and request transcripts be evaluated. All applicable credits toward your declared major will be entered on your transcript.

  • You can also meet with the department advisor to further review military transcripts to determine if any of their military training can be used towards their declared major.

  • Student Veterans not using VA Educational Benefits:

    • If you are not using VA educational funds, you are not required to submit transcripts to SLCC. It can be to your advantage to do so. You can submit transcripts to the incoming transfer credit office and request they be evaluated for applicable credits towards your degree.

    • We also encourage you to meet with the department advisor to determine credits for military service that could be applicable towards your degree to assist you in completing your degree quicker.
