Military Course Credit
Students may receive college credit for military experience. However, these credits are not used as part of the admission process in determining a student's level (first-year vs. transfer). If admitted, credits maybe be applied to your FSU record in accordance with FSU's Military Course Credit table.
Academic credit will only be awarded for military experiences, training and coursework that are recognized by the American Council on Education (ACE) in their Guide to the Evaluation of Educational Experiences in the Armed Services. If you have any questions regarding the process for having your Joint Service Transcript (JST) evaluated, you may contact the FSU Student Veterans Center at veteran@fsu.edu.
Who We Support
All VA benefit recipients and self-identified veterans and active duty members enjoy priority registration for courses after their first semester at FSU. Immediately after registering for each semesters courses, students using VA benefits must complete our Request for Benefits form online.
Following RFB submission, the FSU benefits team then verifies your schedule against degree requirements before certifying course enrollment to the VA; this is not an automatic process and can take up to 30 days to process per student.
Should you have questions, please contact our staff by email veteran@fsu.edu or phone (850) 644-9562. Individual contact information is provided below. If you call and get our voicemail, please include your name, FSU ID and email address. We’ll follow-up by phone or email as soon as possible.
Please remember to stay safe and GO NOLES!
