Using your military transcripts to transfer credit.
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 on obtaining your military transcript, simply
select your service below.
Army
Navy
Air Force
Marines
Coast Guard
Army
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 Web site:
http://aarts.army.mil/.
If you are interested in obtaining an “institutional copy” of your AARTS
transcript for admission to University of Phoenix, you must complete
a DA Form 5454-R, Request for Army/American Council on Education Registry
Transcript, which can also be obtained from the Web site listed above.
Once completed, the form should be faxed to (913) 684-2011, DSN 552-2011, or mailed to:
AARTS Operations Center
415 McPherson Avenue
Fort Leavenworth, KS 66027-1373
Navy/Marines
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 that 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 Web site:
https://www.navycollege.navy.mil/transcript.html.
You may request an “institutional copy” of your SMART for admission to University of
Phoenix through the installations Navy College Office or Marine Corps Education
Center. You can also download the request form from the Web site listed above. The fax
number and/or address for mailing the request is contained on the form.
Air Force
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 accredit CCAF,
the Office of Admissions will evaluate the transcript just like any other transfer credits
would be evaluated. For more information, contact the CCAF Web site:
www.au.af.mil/au/ccaf.
Coast Guard
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 Web site:
http://www.uscg.mil/hq/cgi/Deducation_Services/ve_forms.html

If you've previously accomplished an Application for Voluntary Education Services (CGI 1561) then you can click on the "Official U.S. Coast Guard Transcript Request" and fill out CGI Form 1564 to obtain your official transcript.
