Why Champlain?

Training you received during your time in the Armed Forces can transfer to Champlain College credit. Transferring credit can accelerate your learning and lessen the amount of time it takes to get your undergraduate degree. Our Office of Military & Veteran Services will review your military transcripts for experience to determine transfer credit based on recommendations from the  American Council on Education (ACE). Be sure to designate that your official transcripts are to be sent to Champlain College.

Students admitted through Champlain College Online may transfer in up to 90 credits toward their bachelor’s degree, leaving only 30 credits to earn (10 upper division-level courses). Transfer credit may be granted in a variety of ways, including for courses or training you received while in the military.
