Military Service School Credit

Taft College will grant credit to veterans for active military service. The maximum general credit allowed is eight semester units – four for having completed basic training, and two for each of the first two years of service. Credit is also granted for educational work completed in the various service schools in accordance with the recommendations of the American Council on Education. This credit will be applied to help meet the requirements for graduation but is subject to acceptance by any other college to which the student transfers. The maximum credit allowed for all military service experience is 20 units. Duplicate credit will not be given in both high school and college. If a veteran uses service credits to complete high school graduation requirements, these same units may not be used to fulfill college graduation requirements. Students must complete twelve (12) units at Taft College before Military Credit will be posted. For further information, please refer to “Training for Veterans” in the Student Services section.
