For example: Is there a way to compensate for the credit short-fall or does the experience fail to meet the requirement? See the individual requirement pages for guidance and choose where the credits can most effectively be applied. ***Important: This evaluation should culminate in a Student Agreement.*** MILITARY-RELATED EXPERIENCE A B OPTIONAL NOTES ON USE OF CREDIT Basic Training, AR , 10/05-Present 5 4 Requirements D, V Basic Training, AR , 3/00-9/ Requirements D, V Basic Training, AR , 1/90-2/ Requirement V AIT, 38B, AR , 4/06-Present 13 7 Requirements C, V AIT, 38A, AR , 6/01-9/ AIT, 38A, AR , 10/01-4/ Requirements U, V AIT, 38A, AR , 4/97-9/ Requirement U AIT, 38A, AR , 10/93-3/ Requirement U AIT, 38A, AR , 1/98-5/ Requirement V WLC AR , 10/05-Present 3 0 WLC (MOD), AR , 10/05-Present 3 0 PLDC, AR , 10/03-9/ Requirement V PLDC, AR , 10/93-9/ Requirement V PLDC, AR , 3/89-9/ BNCOC, AR , 10/04-Present (Common Core) 3 2 Requirement V BNCOC, AR , 10/01-9/04 (Common Core) 3 3 Requirement V BNCOC, AR , 4/94-9/01 (Common Core) 2 2 Requirement V BNCOC, AR , 1/90-3/94 (Common Core) 1 0 BNCOC, 38B, AR , 9/06-Present 9 9 Requirements U, V BNCOC, 38B, AR , 9/06-Present 9 9 Requirements U, V BNCOC, 38A, AR , 3/96-8/ Requirement V ANCOC, AR , 10/01-Present (Common Core) 4 2 Requirement V ANCOC, AR , 10/00-9/01 (Common Core) 4 0 ANCOC, AR , 4/94-9/00 (Common Core) 2 0 ANCOC, AR , 1/90-3/94 (Common Core) 2 0 ANCOC, 38B, AR , 5/07-Present 10 9 Requirements G, H, U, V ANCOC, 38A, AR , 8/04-7/ Requirement V ANCOC, 38A, AR , 3/96-7/ Requirement V First Sergeant Course, AR , 10/00-Present (SQI-M) 4 2 Requirement V First Sergeant Course, AR , 10/91-9/00 (SQI-M) 4 2 Requirement V First Sergeant Course, AR , 1/90-9/91, (SQI-M) 6 0 SMC, AR , 10/06-Present Requirements C, V SMC, AR , 9/95-9/ Requirement V SMC, AR , 1/91-8/ SMC, AR , 1/90-12/ Continued 38B Western Carolina University BS Emergency and Disaster Management Updated Sept

The total for each experience cannot exceed the credit shown in Semester Hours column B. Steps for Applying Military-Related Learning Experiences 1. In the first column of the preceding table, check each learning experience that can be validated for the soldier. Choose only the highest level attained. If there are relevant experiences not listed above, bring them to the attention of the college evaluator. 2. Review the individual letter-coded requirements pages and devise a preliminary strategy for applying the credits. A. Work from the most specific to the more general requirements (i.e., first, specific requirements; next, specific categories of electives; last, free electives). B. Work from completely satisfied requirements to partially-met requirements (i.e., unless there is a satisfactory way to make up for the shortfall in credit, the requirement might not be met by the particular experience. See college policy on the letter-coded requirement page.). C. Check for possible duplication by considering whether two or more credit recommendations are based on the same learning experience (e.g., was a skill credited for the also granted for AIT in an instance where that skill was fully learned in AIT? It is possible for a skill to be properly credited from two sources if the learning acquired in each setting is sufficiently different, but caution is needed to avoid duplication.) 3. Track the credits consumed in the table above, noting the requirement letter code and the semester hours applied. 38B Western Carolina University BS Emergency and Disaster Management Updated Sept

34 APPENDIX III HOW TO USE REQUIREMENT PAGES 1. REQUIREMENT A college course (or the broader category shown in lieu of a course) required for the degree. 2. SH (SEMESTER HOURS) Semester (or quarter - QH) hours of unduplicated credit needed to meet the requirement. Unduplicated means that the same learning experience cannot already have been used to satisfy another requirement, and that if you combine smaller amounts of recommended credit to meet the total, they must represent unique learning experiences. 3. The letter-number combinations shown represent categories of comparable courses in the system that are guaranteed to transfer. Use the SOC Degree Network System Handbooks to find specific college courses in the categories (SOC-2 Handbook for associate degrees; SOC-4 Handbook for bachelor s degrees). The categories are found in Chapter 8 of the handbooks. Your objective is to identify a college offering a course at a location where you can attend since they are generally not distance learning courses. Once found, determine if it is currently offered and enroll using the procedures of your Army Education Center. SOC Degree Network System Handbooks are available at 4. If the requirement lists credit for your, work with the college evaluator preparing your Student Agreement to establish that it fully meets the requirement (i.e., it is worth the required number of SH) or that it can be combined with other credit sources. Avoid duplication of credit. ACE Guide Online is available at if you want to examine recommendations in detail. 5. If the requirement lists credit for a military school you have attended, work with the college evaluator preparing your Student Agreement to establish that it fully meets the requirement (i.e., it is worth the required number of SH) or that it can be combined with other credit sources. Avoid duplication of credit. ACE Guide Online is available at if you want to examine recommendations in detail. 6. CERTIFI If the requirement lists credit for a certification or licensure you hold, work with the college evaluator preparing your Student Agreement to establish that it fully meets the requirement (i.e., it is worth the required number of SH) or that it can be combined with other credit sources. Avoid duplication of credit. Additional information is available online at and 7. If the requirement lists acceptable tests and you would like to take them, consult your local Army Education Center or additional information is available at 8. If the requirement shows that distance learning courses are available, contact the college regarding its courses or examine DANTES Independent Study Catalog listings at 38B Western Carolina University BS Emergency and Disaster Management Updated Sept

35 APPENDIX IV SELECTING THE RIGHT DEGREE 1. SELECTING THE RIGHT CAREER DEGREE PLAN There are three kinds of degree plans: (1) Army Career Degree: Typical civilian degrees that match the specialty skills of an, (2) Army Degree General: Typical civilian degrees with more general content, and (3) Army Degree Specialized: Degrees especially crafted to accommodate the uniquely military or otherwise not-easily-matched-to-civilian-courses skills of an. CAREER DEGREE The Army Career Degree is based on college degrees that uniquely relate to an 's skills and contain specific college courses that match its competencies. (Example: A computer studies degree in which recommended credit for military learning is assigned to college courses typically found in a computer studies major.) CAREER DEGREE GENERAL CAREER DEGREE GENERAL The Army Career Degree General is based on college degrees that match the recommended credit from Army learning experiences to their requirements in more general ways. Military credit recommendations are assigned to one or more general categories (e.g., a "Skill Area", "Career Component", "Professional Focus", "Emphasis", "Aviation Maintenance" or another broad subject area) instead of to specific college courses uniquely identified with the 's special competencies. Possibly useful to soldiers, but less effective in mapping competencies to civilian college courses normally associated with their specialties. The degree may have a General Studies, Management, or other broad title, possibly useful to soldiers, but not uniquely related to the 's special competencies (Example: A computer specialist matched to a degree in Management or General Studies rather than computer studies). CAREER DEGREE SPECIALIZED The Army Career Degree Specialized has many of the same qualities as the General degree except its title and major courses may be predominantly military in nature or are otherwise different than a typical civilian course for the same skill. The degree title and major courses would not typically be found in civilian higher education. As with the General Purpose degree plan, the Specialized one may be useful to soldiers but would be less effective in mapping competencies to civilian college courses normally associated with their specialty. (Example: A college degree named for a military specialty and containing courses that are unique to it.) continued 38B Western Carolina University BS Emergency and Disaster Management Updated Sept

36 continued 2. BROADER GENERAL DEGREE CHOICES A number of colleges offer flexible degrees that combine military credit and general education to form flexible, efficient-for-soldiers degrees. If it is not important that the soldier s degree closely resemble a civilian one in the occupational specialty (i.e., be comprised of major-area courses normally associated with the field), such a program might be appropriate. Many General Studies network curriculums found in the SOC Degree Network System-2 fit this model. Examples of Internet accessible distance learning programs of this kind can be found at: and others (refer to the SOC Degree Network System-2 Handbook, Locations by Network). 3. WILL YOU CONTINUE FOR A BACHELOR'S DEGREE? Some s have bachelor's degree plans you can pursue directly without an interim associate degree. With this approach you have no transfer concerns, but if you stop short of completion you have no interim degree. An associate degree's title (e.g., AA, AS, AAS, etc.) alone will not ensure successful transfer to a bachelor's degree program. It depends more on the correct matching of the 2- and 4-year programs' course content. Read the Degree Objective statement on the degree plan carefully. If questions remain, raise them with the bachelor's degree program to which you intend to transfer. It is important to select the right courses based on considerations like: Are they intended to transfer? Do they have a place in your bachelor's degree curriculum? Must they be taken in the upper division (junior or senior year) of a bachelor's degree institution? 38B Western Carolina University BS Emergency and Disaster Management Updated Sept
