​The Military Guide supports academic institutions in awarding college credit to military-connected learners based on their military training and ​​occupations.

​ACE is the sole source of information for courses and occupations evaluated for the U.S. Armed Service. The Military Guide is a trusted technology platform containing courses and occupations evaluated from 1954 to present.

The Military Guide includes:​​​

  • A public Joint Services Transcript (JST) upload feature for service members and veterans ​
  • Detailed information for all military courses and occupations evaluated by ACE
  • Multiple ways to search for courses and occu​pations—​by service, date, ACE ID or military course number, and course or occupation title
  • Workflows and additional details available to colleges and universities with an institutional account

​ACE also evaluates courses offered by military-affiliated or defense institutions, government agencies, ​and joint programs. These evaluations may be found in the ACE National Guide, rather than the Military Guide. If you are seeking information about an evaluated course that does not appear in the Military Guide, please visit the Browse Organizations page of the ACE National Guide.​
