When you convert your military experience into civilian college credit, you can sometimes save time and money on your education. The Joint Services Transcript (JST) provides documented evidence to URI of professional military education, training and occupation experiences achieved by service members and Veterans. 

Academic Credit For Training Completed While In Service

The Joint Service Transcript (JST) is a uniform transcript of all military training and experience for service members of the Navy, Marine Corps and Army. The Air Force has its own regionally accredited transcript known as that Community College of the Air Force. This new electronic transcript service includes Officer and Warrant Officer training, joint military training conducted by other services, and Defense Activity for Non-Traditional Education Support (DANTES) funded test scores.
