It is the student's responsibility to alert APUS that s/he may fall under a current Internal Recommendation policy by emailing his/her Student ID and the name of the Internal Recommendation to articulations@apus.edu.

- Master of Arts in Military Studies - Air Warfare or Joint Warfare Concentrations (15 SH)
- Master of Arts in National Security Studies - General Concentration (12 SH)
Guidelines:
- A student has met the terms of the agreement and is eligible for possible Transfer Credit Evaluation (TCE) review if they completed the specific course through Air University and they have not yet had an Initial TCE completed.
- If an Initial TCE has already been prepared and the student completed the course through Air University after the official evaluation was completed, they can send in the updated paperwork. A TCE Update Request Form must also be submitted to initiate the review process.
- If a student changes their degree program, they are eligible for a review of their Air University transcript for possible transfer credit.
- If a student has already had an Initial TCE completed, their documentation has already been reviewed, and no additional paperwork is to be submitted, they are NOT eligible for this internal policy.
Students must send in their OFFICIAL Air University transcript along with a TCE Application. Documentation of successful completion may make a student eligible for the following transfer credit recommendations depending on their specific degree program requirements:

For those students who are not pursuing one of these programs or that have taken a course outside the effective dates listed for this policy, we are required to follow the American Council on Education (ACE) recommendations for awarding transfer credit. Credit must be evaluated by ACE and recommended for graduate level credit in order to possibly apply toward a graduate degree program at APUS.
This Internal Recommendation policy is valid for listed programs which may be reviewed each catalog year and credit recommendations may change if the programs or internal recommendation policies are altered and/or re-evaluated.
