The Credit for Life Learning Coordinator will receive your Military “Individual Transcript” for evaluation and posting of credit and will follow up with you and the college’s Veteran’s and Military Services Coordinator.

Important: The Academic Placement & Testing Center can use your “Individual Transcript” for the purpose of review only. Understanding what credits will be recommended will be important during the academic advising process. The college will post credits to your official NECC transcript upon receipt of your “Institutional Transcript”. Please be advised that in some instances the Academic Placement & Testing Center will request the assistance of faculty members to review transcripts. Therefore, you should request both forms (Institutional and Individual) transcripts as early as possible.

The grade of S (Satisfactory) is assigned to all credit awarded for military training or standardized testing.

Transfer of Credit to Four-Year Institutions

The policies governing the acceptance of credit awarded for military experience toward satisfying degree requirements vary among the degree-recommending colleges. Your credits will count toward your Northern Essex Community College degree/certificate. If you plan to transfer, the college to which you transfer may perform its own evaluation of your military credentials.
