SOCCOAST Credit for
Military Experience and Tests
Your Coast Guard schools and work experiences (Rates and Ratings)
are evaluated for possible college credit using a reference from
the American Council on Education (ACE) entitled Guide
to the Evaluation of Educational Experiences in the Armed Services
(ACE Guide). If the credits recommended by ACE match
credits required in your SOCCOAST degree plan, they may take
the place of the courses you would otherwise have been required
to complete. In addition, you can get college credit by taking
tests, such as CLEP, DSST, ECE, ASE Professional Certification
exams, and others. The combination of credits earned for Coast
Guard schools and occupational experiences and tests, along with
the actual college courses you take, eventually give you enough
credits for a college degree.
