Easily Transfer Credits with JST

UIU accepts the Joint Services Transcript (JST) to help you earn college credit from your prior military training and education or professional experience.

If you’ve taken college courses before, UIU makes it easy to apply those credits to your degree even if it’s been several years since your last class. We accept up to 90 credits from four-year schools or 78 credits from two-year schools.

The university also partners with several community colleges around the country to make the transfer process even smoother.

Students transferring from a UIU partner school may qualify for a transfer scholarship!
