Receiving a Credit Evaluation: Military, Active Armed Services, Reserves

Hofstra University has a long history of supporting our military members. The American Council on Education (ACE) evaluates military training/Joint Services Transcripts and will send colleges and universities an ACE transcript with their recommendations for college course equivalencies (click on the previous link for more information). If you are applying to Hofstra University, you can have your ACE transcript sent to our Admissions team for a transfer credit review before or after you receive an admissions decision. We will review your military coursework and consider possible Hofstra University credits.
