College Credit for Military Training

Herzing University Online uses the Joint Statement on the Transfer and Award of Credit created by the American Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers, the American Council on Education, and the Council for Higher Education Accreditation as a guideline for evaluating and awarding the transfer of credit. Within the statement, it sets the following guideline:

Inter-Institutional Transfer of Credit
Transfer of credit from one institution to another involves at least three considerations:

1. the educational quality of the learning experience which the student transfers;
2. the comparability of the nature, content, and level of the learning experience offered by the receiving institution; and
3. the appropriateness and applicability of the learning experience to the programs offered by the receiving institution, in light of the student's educational goals.

In addition, the student must have demonstrated understanding of the course material by earning a grade of C or better in classes taken at a prior college or university. Please note that while Herzing University Online will try to apply as many incoming credits as possible, credits earned in subjects not directly relating to the program you wish to study may not be applied to that program. For example, health care classes would not correlate with a technology degree but may be applied toward the elective requirements for a technology degree until that requirement is filled. For an individual evaluation of your credits, please call a Military Specialist Admissions Advisor at 866-508-0748 x243.

CLEP/DANTES credit

We will accept credit for satisfactory scores on CLEP exams via CLEP Transcripts. We will also accept credit recommended by ACE for military service members who have passing scores on DSST program tests (formerly called the DANTES Subject Standardized Tests) administered by DANTES military test centers.
