Potential Veteran and Military Affiliated Students
On behalf of our community, thank you and your families for your service.
Any potential Owl’s first step in the enrollment process is to apply for admission.
- Apply for admission
- Submit all official transcripts from all institutions attended (this includes JST and or CCAF /Air University if applicable)
- Submit all test scores (if applicable)
Students looking to utilize their military educational benefits should receive approval from their military counselor or service advisor prior to enrollment.
Please know that Military credits are reviewed and credit awarded using official transcripts and resources:
- Joint Services Transcript (JST) American Council on Education (ACE) recommendations
- Community College of the Air Force (CCAF)/Air University transcript
- ACE Military Guide
- Statewide Credit or Clock Hour for Military Experience Equivalency List
- Discipline-faculty and subject-matter experts
The Offices of Admission and Registrar review military credits as potential equivalents to courses that may satisfy FAU’s General Education curriculum. Military credits are included in students’ personalized Degree Audit . Passing scores on the College Level Examination Program (CLEP), DANTES Subject Standardized Test (DSST), and Defense Language Proficient Test (DLPT) are taken from the JST and included under “Exam Credits.”
Florida Atlantic’s Military & Veterans Student Success Center is dedicated to assisting you and your dependents with VA educational benefits. The office is staffed with veterans who have the knowledge and experience to help you understand and meet the certification process, as well as refer you to additional services and resources you may need to thrive here.
FAU student re-admission: FAU Policy requires that students who are not enrolled for three or more consecutive semesters must reapply for admission. Florida Atlantic University students who are deployed or otherwise provided orders for US military service that interrupts enrollment for 3 or more consecutive semesters will have their application fee waived upon providing a copy of military orders.
Florida Atlantic offers several scholarships and tuition waivers for military/veteran affiliated students.
