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.

Eligibility:

Graduate students must be pursuing the following program at the University (semester hour maximum):

  • Any graduate level degree (12 SH)

Students may maximize transfer credit from this internal policy by pursuing one of the following programs (semester hour maximum):

  • Master of Arts in Emergency and Disaster Management (12 SH)
  • Master of Arts in Military Studies with a concentration in Air Warfare (12 SH)
  • Master of Arts in Military Studies with any other concentration (9 SH)
  • Master of Business Administration with a General concentration (9 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 the U.S. Air Force Weapons School and they have not yet had an Initial TCE completed.
  • If an Initial TCE has already been prepared and the student completed the specific course through the U.S. Air Force Weapons School 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 U.S. Air Force Weapons School certificate 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 a copy of their certificate from USAF Weapons School along with a TCE Application.  Documentation of successful completion may make a student eligible for the following transfer credit recommendations depending on their specific graduate degree program requirements:
