The Defense Activity for Non-Traditional Support (DANTES) announced March 20, 2013 that the Navy, Marine Corp, Army, and Coast Guard are moving to one standard academic transcript to reflect military academic credit recommendations.
This collaborative transcript program called Joint Services Transcript (JST) will combine the current SMARTS, AARTS, and CGI offices into one uniformed JST office. By having one standardized transcript, your school should have an easier time determining the appropriate military credits that can transfer to your programs.
To send your transcripts to Montana Tech, please visit the Joint Services Transcript login.
You can find more information on the Joint Services Transcript website.
Although the University may not be able to transfer in your credits we do evaluate them on a case by case basis. You can order your military transcripts through the following links:
