Military Transcript Evaluation for Military-Connected Students
Service members, veterans and military spouses enroll at colleges in every state. LioraAI for Veterans & JST turns Joint Services Transcripts and CCAF transcripts into ACE-cited credit recommendations your School Certifying Officials can approve the same day.
How do colleges evaluate military transcripts?
Colleges review the Joint Services Transcript (Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Coast Guard) or the Community College of the Air Force transcript (Air Force, Space Force), use American Council on Education credit recommendations as a baseline, and decide which courses or electives to award under their own policy and any state rules. LioraAI drafts that evaluation with ACE citations for staff to approve.
Which records do military-connected students bring?
Army, Navy, Marine Corps and Coast Guard training appears on the Joint Services Transcript (JST). Air Force and Space Force training appears on the Community College of the Air Force (CCAF) transcript. Veterans may also bring a DD-214. Each needs to be matched to ACE recommendations and then to your catalog. Our guide to reading a JST walks through it.

Military transcript evaluation in Georgia
Georgia law directs the USG Board of Regents and the TCSG State Board to award credit for relevant military training. Georgia’s installations, including Fort Benning, Fort Gordon, Fort Stewart, Robins Air Force Base and Moody Air Force Base, produce a steady flow of JST and CCAF transcripts. LioraAI applies those rules alongside each institution’s own policy.
