Joint Service Transcript (JST) Credit
The U of U accepts credit for some kinds of military training as listed on a Joint Services Transcript (JST). Posting JST credit can be helpful in some cases but not in others. For this reason the U of U requires a student to meet with an advisor in the Academic Advising Center to help them determine if and when they might post their credits.
Steps to Post JST Credits
- 1. Send your JST to the Admissions Office.
- 2. It will be evaluated and a JST Worksheet will be created showing possible transferrable credits and any credits that may fulfill general education or baccalaureate degree requirements. An email will be sent to you once your JST Worksheet has been created. This email will include the JST Worksheet attached.
- 3. Review the attached JST worksheet to see your potential credits. Your JST will have been already been evaluated for General Education and Baccalaureate Degree requirements. Your JST has not yet been evaluated for potential major degree requirements.
- 4. Make an appointment with an advisor in your major. They will discuss how accepting this credit might affect your major requirements.
- 5. Schedule an appointment with an advisor at this link: SCHEDULE HERE . This advisor will help you understand the pros and cons of posting credits, see if any credits can fill general requirements, and determine a timeline for posting.
- 6. To post credits you and all your advisors will sign your JST Worksheet.
- 7. Return the signed Worksheet to the Office of Admissions in the Student Services Building Rm 250S.
