Describe other military/veteran transfer credit policies unique to your institution:Brown does not have separate transfer credit guidelines for military veterans. The maximum number of course credits any student may receive via transfer is 15.0 course credits. Each 1.0 Brown course credit is equivalent to 4 semester credits or 6 quarter units. Brown awards transfer credit to incoming transfer students per our pre-Brown transfer credit guidelines (see https://www.brown.edu/academics/college/advising/transfer-students). Defense Language Institute courses may be transferred subject to these guidelines. CLEP or DSST test results do not earn transfer credit but may be used by students (like AP scores and SAT Subject Test results) for placement purposes pending academic department evaluation and recommendation.
