Credit for Military School Training

Upon request, LLCC will review military training in accordance with the American Council on Education guidelines and award college credit accordingly.

Training courses completed in the Armed Forces that are applicable to the student’s curriculum will be accepted for credit when official documentation is submitted to the Records Office.

Information about ordering official military transcripts is available from the Veterans Office in Financial Aid (217-786-2758) or from the Records office (217-786-2298). Ordering information varies, based on the branch of service.
