Kentucky Council on Postsecondary Education The Council on Postsecondary Education is Kentucky's adult and higher education coordinating agency committed to strengthening our workforce, economy and quality of life.

  4. Definitions CPE worked with representatives from public institutions to create the following definitions: Military Active student– student currently serves in the U.S. National Guard, is on Active Duty in any branch of the U.S. military, or is in the Reserve unit of any branch of the U.S. military. Military Veteran student –student formerly served in the U.S. National Guard, on Active Duty in any branch of the U.S. military, or in the Reserve unit of any branch of the U.S. military, released under conditions other than dishonorable. Military Connectedstudent – student’s spouse, parent or guardian is on Active Duty in any branch of the U.S. military or is in the U.S. National Guard or in the Reserve unit of any branch of the U.S. military.

  5. Guiding Principles (1 of 2) • Clearly communicate in their academic catalogs and web sites how military-related credit will be awarded. • Maintain a database of course equivalencies for military training and military occupations that have been evaluated at the institution. • Provide a rationale if there is a limit on the number of credits that a student may articulate into the institution or into a particular academic program. • Consult the credit recommendations from the ACE Guide to the Evaluation of Educational Experiences in the Armed Services and provide a rationale when credits awarded do not follow the ACE credit recommendations. • Award credit for general education, prerequisite, and major courses when learning outcomes associated with the military training and occupational experience are equivalent to the learning outcomes of these types of courses.

  6. Guiding Principles (2 of 2) • Transcript only the necessary number of electives to meet graduation requirements if credit is not applied to specific general education, prerequisite, or major requirements to help protect students against excess credits that could negatively impact financial aid. • Allow for the transferability of credit earned through military experience at one public institution to another public institution, subject to institutional policy on maximum number of transfer credits, to facilitate degree completion requirements. • Appoint at least one individual to monitor military credit transferability. • Provide academic advisors and admissions counselors with materials and professional development to help them meet the unique needs of military students and understand policies related to credit for military experience. • Convene advisory groups of administrators, faculty, staff, and students to address issues that impact persistence and graduation of military students.
