Responsibilities of the SOCNAV College

Each SOCNAV member college agrees to:

  • Be an institutional member of SOC and abide by appropriate DoD and Navy policies.

  • Serve as a home college for servicemembers and their adult family members enrolling in degree programs that are part of the SOCNAV system at specified locations.

  • Limit academic residency requirements for graduation, regardless of location or delivery option, to no more than 25 percent of the total degree requirements with no final year or semester requirement. If a SOCNAV institution offers one hundred percent of an undergraduate degree online, that institution may require active-duty servicemembers to take thirty percent of that degree program to obtain academic residency.

  • Issue a SOCNAV Student Agreement, which is an official evaluation and degree plan, on the standard form for each SOCNAV student who has completed two courses (6 semester hours).

  • Award credit appropriate to the curriculum for Navy service schools, Rates and Ratings, and NECs based on recommendations in the ACE Guide to the Evaluation of Educational Experiences in the Armed Services (ACE Guide).

  • Award credit appropriate to the curriculum for nationally recognized standardized tests, such as CLEP, DSST, and ASE, based on the recommendations in the ACE Guide to Educational Credit by Examination.

  • Permit the student to complete the program under the terms of the Student Agreement, even after separation from active military service and even if the college is no longer a member of the SOCNAV system.

  • Accept in transfer, with no individual prior approval, comparable courses listed in the transferability tables of the SOCNAV Handbook, provided the courses are taken after the Student Agreement is issued.

  • Accept in transfer, with no individual prior approval necessary, General Education elective courses, as defined in the SOCNAV Handbook, provided the courses are taken with colleges after the Student Agreement is issued.
