I'd like to use my civilian education as promotion points, I have transcripts for a Medical Assistant program that I completed for a year. I was a medical assistant in the civilian life. The real question is that went I try to submit this in my unit they coudnt find my college but i come to find out that the college i attended closed down and change their name to a whole different one. My civilian education should be considered for points for the fact that I'm a medic and so I know about my job for the experience I gained. I'm promotable but I need points for SGT

This shouldn't be too hard.
1) You have time and don't need the points until you are a SPC (profile says PFC) going for SGT.
2) I think the easiest action would be to simply request copies of your transcripts from the NEW version of the school. That way you get letter head transcripts from the school that currently exists.

Do not expect anyone else to backwards engineer what happened to your old school and name change. All they want is official transcripts of a school that exists and can verify that those transcripts belong to you.

So......... if the school just reorganized and took on all previous academic records then the solution is simple. Pay the few bucks to get new transcripts sent to you with the new school name.

Go to your education center, they will help you with the memo for the points for your civilian education, if it qualifies. As for the certification, that is only worth points if your certification is still valid.
