Credit for four(4) semester hours of physical education and three semester hours of Biology 103 Health is awarded for military service experience to former members of any of branches of the armed services who served honorably on active duty, for one year or more, upon submission of a copy of DD Form 214 or other evidence of honorable discharge.   Members of the Armed Services still on active duty will be given credit subject to verification of the completion of one tour of duty.  Veterans who have been discharged for medical reasons will be evaluated on an individual basis.

A former member of the armed services also may receive credit for College Level General or Subject Matter Tests taken under the jurisdiction of the USAFI (United States Armed Forces Institute).  An official copy of the test scores and ratings must be submitted to the Vice President of Academic Affairs for evaluation.  As much as six semester hours of credit may be awarded for each General Test ( English, Humanities, Natural Sciences, Mathematics and Social Science) in equated college level courses.  Credit may be awarded for each Subject Matter Test as equated to a corresponding college level course.

Joliet Junior College participates fully in SOCAD.  Military service members coming to JJC via this program should consult with the Vice President of Academic Affairs.

Military schooling experience will be evaluated by the Vice President of Academic Affairs as recommended by The Guide to the Evaluation of Educational Experiences in the Armed Services and equated with equivalent college courses.  A proficiency examination may be required by the Vice President to determine if knowledge or skills are sufficient to award credit.
