The University grants registered students college credit for certain training and experience in the armed forces of the United States. A student who completes military service in the U.S. Air Force, Army, Marine Corps, Navy, or Coast Guard, including basic or recruit training of six months or more, is awarded 4 semester hours of credit in basic military science upon presentation of evidence on Form DD-214 of honorable discharge or transfer to the reserve component.

Correspondence courses for which the student has passed the end-of-course examination prepared by the U. S. Armed Forces Institute, that are baccalaureate-oriented, and that correspond in level and content to courses offered at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign are recognized for credit.

Credit recommendations in the Guide to the Evaluation of Education Experiences in the Armed Forces (published by the American Council on Education) for military service school training will be considered for transfer credit as follows: (1) credit will be granted for college-level, baccalaureate-oriented training and education, (2) vocational credit related to the student's curriculum choice will be referred for consideration to the dean of the college in which the student is enrolled, and (3) duplicate credit will be deleted. Applicability of military credit toward a particular degree is determined by the dean of the college. Additional information may be obtained from the Office of Admissions and Records.
