Military Student Admissions

As a veteran, you are entitled to certain benefits and are eligible to participate in certain programs. The Veteran Services Office assists:

• Veterans
• Reservists
• Guardsmen
• Dependents of disabled or deceased veterans

While the Veteran Services Office at AUM does not determine eligibility for assistance, we do ensure that proper paperwork is completed, certified, and filed with the VA so that payment of benefits can begin. If you require additional information, contact the AUM Veteran Services office at 334-244-3288.

Applying for VA Benefits is simple, easy, and online. It can be done on the VA website, or you can visit your VA officer in our Office of Financial Aid who will be delighted to assist you.

Prior to utilization of any military benefits please contact appropriate Education Center or Education Service Officer for assistance.  Below is a list of centers and points of contact in the Montgomery area.

The American Council on Education (ACE) presently evaluates both military and civilian training programs for academic credit. Since this evaluation is handled by faculty members of accredited institutions of higher learning, AUM will accept the ACE recommendations for credit given for the successful completion of service schools, including AWC and ACSC. Credit for military education is processed by the Registrar’s Office in consultation with appropriate faculty members.

Students can receive credit for certain subjects completed through:

• College Level Examination Program (AUM CLEP and Dantes Credit)
• College Board Advanced Placement (AP)
• US Armed Forces Institute/Dantes Level Test and Subject Standardized Tests

Please review information on how to maximize your Domestic Transfer and Test Credit , you will also find additional information on credits given for ACE, CLEP, and military training.

A copy of your Joint Service Transcript will need to be submitted to the University and on file before any VA benefits will be processed.

For those students who have credit from Community College of the Air Force please submit appropriate transcripts for review.

Every student’s path is a little bit different and we are here to help you navigate maximizing your benefits and scholarship opportunities.  Contact Rudy Tobias via email at rtobias@aum.edu or by calling 334-244-3304 to talk about your personalized plan to get started.
