Selectees normally attend a college or university
located near their present duty station or near a major
installation (continental United States (CONUS) or
Hawaii). If the desired curriculum is not available or
there are other assignment considerations, for example,
spouse co-location, then other locations that have been
authorized by the BUPERS are selected by the CO,
Naval Education and Training Program Management
Support Activity (NETPMSA).
Students have up to 24 months to complete degree
requirements. If the degree is earned in less than the
allotted amount of time, students may use the remaining
time to work toward a baccalaureate degree.
Six years of OBLISERV is incurred upon
enrollment in the EEAP. No relationship exists between
this OBLISERV requirement and the number of months
of school received.
For additional information and eligibility
requirements, refer to Article 1020357 of the
NULPERSMAN, Regulations Governing the Navy
Enlisted Education Advancement Program (EEAP),
OPNAVINST 1560.8, and the most current Enlisted
Education Advancement Program ( E E A P ),
OPNAVNOTE 1510.
APPLYING FOR CREDIT FOR
MILITARY TRAINING AND WORK
EXPERIENCE
The following paragraphs discuss the requesting of
credit for military training and work experience, and
applying for credit for military experience by naval
personnel.
CREDIT FOR MILITARY TRAINING AND
WORK EXPERIENCES
Naval personnel may obtain academic credit from
civilian schools for certain educational or work
experiences achieved while performing normal military
duties, as recommended by the ACE in the Guide to the
Evaluational Experiences in the Armed Services (ACE
Guide).
Academic credit is granted only by civilian
educational institutions and may be applied toward the
requirements of a vocational certificate, associate,
baccalaureate, or graduate degree. Colleges/
universities that participate in the SOCNAV consortium
programs award credit for applicable military courses
or experiences.
However, academic credit is not
guaranteed in advance.
The granting of academic credit is solely the
prerogative of each educational institution or state
department of education. In selecting schools to
conduct on-base programs and, in recommending
off-base schools, the Navy Campus education specialist
makes every effort to recommend an institution that
adheres to the recommendations in the ACE Guide.
APPLYING FOR CREDIT FOR MILITARY
EXPERIENCE
When no Navy Campus education specialist is
available, the command’s ESO should assist and advise
personnel to apply for academic credit for military
experience. Reference should be made to the ACE
Guide (available through DANTES), which provides a
listing of credit recommendations for service schools
and ratings.
A recommendation of credit is no guarantee that the
amount of credit will be granted. Neither the Navy nor
ACE award academic credit. Academic credit for an
individual’s military educational experiences can only
be awarded by the civilian school where the individual
is seeking admission, or from a state department of
education where the individual requests a high school
diploma or equivalency certificate.
With the assistance of the ESO or custodian of
military records, the service member must prepare and
submit to the civilian school the Application for the
Evaluation of Learning Experiences During Military
Service, DD Form 295. Refer to figure 9-11.
When completing the DD Form 295, the preparer
should make sure it is addressed to the school where the
applicant is seeking credit and that all military course
titles, numbers, and locations have been verified.
Complete information on this form is of the utmost
importance.
