Student Classification of Active Military Service Members and Military Dependents
If you are an active duty military personnel or a dependent, you must complete the regular College admissions requirements and must complete 15 semester credit hours, in residence, at the College. Credits remaining for completion of a degree program may be earned in the following ways:
- Resident study at Del Mar College
- Credits earned through other regionally-accredited institutions may be transferred when applicable to a Del Mar College degree or certificate
- Semester credit hours may be earned through successful completion of CLEP Subject Examinations
- Courses completed through the United States Armed Forces Institute (USAFI) may be accepted following the recommendations of the American Council on Education (ACE) when such courses are applicable to a specific Del Mar College degree or certificate
- Del Mar College will accept DANTES courses, but the scores must be submitted in the official educational transcript to the Del Mar College Registrar’s Office for evaluation. DANTES scores are not automatically transferred to Del Mar College.
- Military service schools and Military Occupational Specialty (MOS) credits may be evaluated and credits awarded following ACE recommendations when such credits can be applied to a specific Del Mar College degree or certificate.
- Successful completion of Del Mar College departmental examinations will result in an award of credit which would normally be given for completion of the course. Such credit does not serve to meet the residency requirement.
