How ConAP Works

When soldiers enlist in the Army or Army Reserve, recruiters encourage them to select a ConAP college and send a College Referral and Intent to Enroll form, stating their intent to enroll during or after the enlistment. Colleges acknowledge the soldiers' intent and provide guidelines about applying for admission not more than one year before the expected entry date, beginning the college academic experience, using distance learning, and staying in touch by e-mail and the college Web site.

Nearly every enlistee is a high-school diploma graduate with Montgomery GI Bill education benefits. The Army wants its soldiers to use their education benefits and ConAP puts soldiers on track to do so from the beginning of their enlistment.

Colleges participating in ConAP are members of SOC. As such, they agree to use good academic practice in accepting courses from other colleges, use the American Council on Education Guide to the Evaluation of Educational Experiences in the Armed Services (ACE Guide) to award credit for military courses that fit a student's curriculum, and award credit for at least one nationally recognized testing program. Colleges joining SOC primarily to participate in ConAP are exempt from SOC Criterion 2, Academic Residency Requirements and abide by their own residency requirements. The reason is that ConAP soldiers return as veterans, will live in the community, and can meet a residency requirement.
