A veteran who has been on active duty one year or longer and has received an honorable discharge may request 2 units of health education and 3 units of elective credit for military service to be applied toward an associate's degree. Credit will not transfer to a four-year university and will have no bearing on the student's GPA. To request an evaluation, students must submit a General Student Petition and a DD-214 form to the Records Office. Students must complete 12 units at Sierra before military credit may be awarded.
Veterans receiving VA educational benefits through the Sierra College Veterans Office must apply for Military Credit by the end of their first term of enrollment, regardless of the number of units completed at Sierra.
