Military Service Credit
A US veteran may request up to nine (9) units of credit for military service. Up to four (4) units based on service time (1 unit for each six months of service time)—of which three (3) units may be used to satisfy Area E of the CSU GE requirements—may be granted. An additional five (5) units of elective credit may be granted for basic training alone. These units may NOT be used to meet GPA or subject requirements.
Additional credit may be allowed for specific programs of military training as documented in JST and similar military transcripts. However, SMC may only grant credit for comparable courses taught at SMC. For details, please consult with the Veterans’ Counselor.
