The University of Wisconsin–Madison thanks you for your service and in many cases can award transfer credit for education you received while in the military. Evaluation of transfer credit adheres to the guidelines in the Joint Statement on the Transfer and Award of Credit developed by the American Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers (AACRAO), the Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA), and the American Council on Education (ACE). A large number of degree credits could negatively impact your financial aid eligibility and your admission to competitive programs with credit limits. You are not required to accept all of your transfer credits from the Joint Services Transcript (JST) or Community College of the Air Force.
For additional guidance and support, contact University Veteran Services.

Counts for Credit
- Joint Services Transcript: Academic credit from the Joint Services Transcript will be awarded based on American Council on Education (ACE) recommendations and on the nature, level, and content as compared to a course in UW–Madison’s undergraduate curriculum. To have your credits reviewed, please request an official copy of your JST be sent to UW–Madison. You are not required to submit your JST or accept the transfer credit.
- Community College of the Air Force: Academic credit from the CCAF transcript will be awarded based on the nature, level, and content as compared to a course in UW–Madison’s undergraduate curriculum. As an accredited institution, you are required to submit a transcript for any credit earned at CCAF, but you are not required to accept the transfer credit.
