College Participation and Responsibilities
ConAP college points of contact sign the College Referral
and Intent to Enroll form. By doing so they acknowledge the
soldier's intent to enroll and provide guidelines about when
and how to apply for admission, how to prepare for the academic
experience, how to enroll in distance learning courses if offered
by the college, and how to stay in with the college by e-mail
and Web site. Colleges that participate in ConAP must:
- Become a member of Servicemembers Opportunity Colleges (SOC)
and agree to participate in ConAP. Download the Application
for Institutional Membership in SOC (2001-2003), download
the Institutional Agreement to Participate
in ConAP, or you can call SOC at 1-800-368-5622 and request
that the forms be sent by mail.
- Agree to transfer practices that avoid duplication of course
work and minimize credit loss, award credit as appropriate to
the student's curriculum for military service schools and for
national tests, and limit academic residency for active-duty
students to 25 percent of an undergraduate degree program, to
be satisfied at any time during the course of study. Please
note that Colleges joining SOC primarily to participate in ConAP
are exempt from the academic residency criterion. The reason
is that ConAP students entering college after military service
are veterans, are likely to finish their degrees at a single
institution, and can meet residency requirements.
- Assign an institutional point of contact to receive and process
College Referral and Intent to Enroll
forms and respond to soldier inquiries. After completing the
bottom portion of the form, return the Recruiting Battalion,
Student and High School Copies of the form to the recruiter who
sent the form.
- Add ConAP soldiers to the mailing and e-mail lists for potential
students. The purpose is to reinforce their intent to enroll
and bond them with your college.
- When ConAP soldiers return and enroll as veterans, review
their goals and academic preparation, both traditional and nontraditional,
and award credit as appropriate to the student's curriculum.
