Previous College Credit
& Military Experience
Credit Earned at Other Colleges
VA requires Chemeketa to evaluate all credit earned at other colleges. The VA will pay educational benefits for one term at a time for a maximum of three terms until prior credit has been evaluated. It is the student's responsibility to request official transcripts, have them sent directly to the Admissions Office or hand-carry them to Admissions in sealed envelopes from the issuing institution, and complete a "Request for Evaluation of Previous Credit" form. The Admissions Office will provide a copy of the evaluation to Chemeketa Veterans’ Services.
Credit for Military Experience
Students requesting evaluation of military education must do so on the Chemeketa form: "Request for Evaluation and Transfer of Previous Credit". Students must be enrolled in or applicants to a Chemeketa program or applicants for graduation. The documents required for evaluation of military credit vary depending upon the branch of service.
