4 JST At a Glance Section 2: Personal Service Member Data l This section will clearly indicate whether the transcript is official or unofficial. Service members and veterans can access unofficial copies of their transcripts at any time via the web. Official transcripts can be requested via the website and must come directly from the JST Operations Center. l The title of the rank with the actual pay-grade level is provided in parentheses. l The member s current status (active or separated) is important for colleges and universities, particularly if a member is still active, which could mean he or she may have additional transcripts to provide with the career progression. 3 American Council on Education

5 Section 3: Military Courses l This section lists the trajectory of courses the service member or veteran has completed that have been evaluated by ACE. Key things to note include the military course ID number in the far left margin, the ACE identifier in bold text to the right, and the dates the coursework was taken. l The credit recommendations are listed as subject-area bullets with the semester hours (SH) and level of the credit (V=vocational, =lower, U=upper, and G=graduate) aligned to the right. l At the end of the credit recommendation, two sets of dates appear in parenthesis (mm/yy). The first date indicates when an ACE faculty evaluation team conducted the hands-on review. The second date indicates any administrative adjustment to the course data. l Not everything appears on the transcripts, and it is recommended that you cross-reference the transcript with the ACE Military Guide (acenet.edu/ militaryguide). Additional data listed in the guide include course length, version, and related competencies for select courses evaluated after 2006 (topics associated with each subject area credit recommendation).
