Military Transcripts

Purdue awards undistributed (elective) credit based on years of service. These credits are in blocks of three hours. Your major department, represented by the academic advisor, will determine how these credits can be used. If you have 1 year of service, you earn 4 credits (3 + 1 hours). If you have more than 1 year of service, you earn 8 hours (3 + 3 + 2 hours). To verify the years of service submit either your DD-214 or your Leave and Earnings Statement (LES).

If you have any college-level work, request an electronic transcript be sent to admissions@purdue.edu. The following links are for military-related transcripts:

• Army, Coast Guard, Marines, and Navy: Joint Services Transcript
• Air Force: Community College of the Air Force

Credit Evaluations

Upon admission, Purdue will evaluate all of your college transcripts and send you a credit evaluation report through your admissions portal.

If you believe you should have a specific military course or experience evaluated, please contact your academic advisor.
