Military/Transfer Credit

Ohio Values Veterans 
Cleveland State University accepts ACE-recommended military credits for transfer. PLEASE NOTE: military credits may not assist you in earning a degree any faster if your AFSC/MOS/Rating does not align with your academic major.  Regardless, we recommend that you submit your CCAF transcript or Joint Service Transcript for full consideration of your service training and experience.  You can order your transcripts and have them forwarded directly to the Office of Admissions (NOT the Veteran & Military Success Center).

• Request your Joint Service Transcript – U.S. Army, U.S. Coast Guard, U.S. Marine Corps, U.S. Navy
