Are the military/veteran credit transfer policies published on your website?No
If yes, please provide the URL where the policy can be located:https://www9.nau.edu/policies/Client/Details/972
Describe other military/veteran transfer credit policies unique to your institution:A student can be awarded an additional 4 units of credit for 18 consecutive months of active duty in the U.S. Armed Forces if terminated under honorable conditions, as documented on the DD214. A student who has earned a commission in the U.S. Armed Forces may petition the Office of Admissions and Orientation for an additional 12 units. Northern Arizona University also utilizes the credit recommendations from the American Council on Education (ACE). An ACE credit recommendation represents college-level equivalencies based on a review of workforce training, military training or occupations, and other sources of learning outside the college classroom, such as national exams and certifications. Departments will determine the application of the ACE credit toward major requirements.
