What is a Joint Services Transcript (JST)?

The Joint Services Transcript is an official record of military training and occupational experience for the Army, Navy, Marine Corps and Coast Guard. It includes American Council on Education (ACE) credit recommendations for each course and occupation.

For Veteran Services offices & School Certifying Officials

Who it’s for

Veteran Services offices, School Certifying Officials (SCOs), registrars and military-friendly admissions teams. It covers Army, Navy, Marine Corps and Coast Guard records through the JST, and Air Force and Space Force records through the Community College of the Air Force (CCAF) transcript.

Institution-specific figures were reported by those institutions. Results vary with your current process, transcript volume and SIS configuration; we model your own numbers in the demo.

It reads the transcript, identifies each military course and occupation, matches them to ACE recommendations, then maps those to equivalent courses in your catalog using your rules. Every suggestion carries its ACE citation so an evaluator can approve, modify or decline it.

No. Your School Certifying Officials, registrar and faculty approve every award. LioraAI does the research and documents the decision.

Yes. Prospective and admitted veterans can use a self-service view that shows the credit their JST or CCAF transcript is likely to earn at your institution.

LioraAI produces a full JST evaluation in under a minute. Institutions typically move from multi-week turnaround to same-day or next-day certified decisions once evaluators shift from research to review.
