Military Credit

Eight semester units of physical education will be awarded for at least one year in active duty in the United States Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, or Coast Guard. A maximum of 8 activity units, which include physical education activity courses, will be applied toward graduation. Students must submit a DD214 (for retired military personnel) or a DD295 (for active duty personnel).

Beyond credit for basic training, students may be able to receive additional credit for military coursework or training, if the American Council on Education (ACE) recommends it for credit.
