WCTC Students

Credit for Military Experience

You can earn credit for what you learned through courses completed and occupations held during your military service.

Transfer Credit

WCTC evaluates transcripts from the Joint Service Transcript (JST) system and the Community College of the Air Force (CCAF) based on the recommendations by the American Council on Education (ACE). We award transfer credit when your military training meets your program requirements.
