Does college credit that was awarded for military training count towards promotion points?

I recently sent in my college transcripts (for which I have 45 SH, 39 of those SH hours were from my military training that they converted) and was only given credit for 6 of those SH from other classes. Is this allowed? Shouldnt I be getting credit for all of my semester hours because my college deemed my military training the equivalent of 39 SH?

Nobody ever determined that you earned 39 hours of college credit. The American Counsel on Education recommends that your experience COULD be equivalent to up to 39 hours in certain areas by any college that chooses to award it. ACE is not a college and cannot award credit. Your AIT is not a college and cannot award credit. You have to find a college and degree program that will award the most credit if you want to receive credit for your military training.

SFC, my college gave me credit already for my military training (it’s on my transcripts) but S1 is not adding those SH onto my ERB

SPC (Join to see) so, your college applied 39 SH to your degree completion and you now have only 5 classes left to take (if you're in an associate program)? Colleges usually list the transfer credits evaluated on the transcript, unless they applied them towards completing degree requirements, those military credits aren't worth anything. I only know of two colleges who are willing to award up to 40 SH of transfer credit from military schools, Thomas Edison and Coastline. If your school did award you credits toward your degree completion on your transcripts, then just take those transcripts back to your S1 NCOIC and sit down with them

You should have that discussion with the admissions office. Nobody here will be able to speak to the schools policy on accepting credit from outside organizations.

Yes. Make sure you have the documents to support it and give it through your CoC and make sure you follow up on it.
