Military & Veteran Students
We’re Proud to Serve You
Discover our many resources to help active military members, veterans, and dependents transition to the University of Arizona and feel like a Wildcat from day one.
Learn How Your Credits Will Transfer
If you are pursuing a bachelor’s degree at the main campus and plan to transfer credits from other institutions or my military transcripts, up to 30 documented credits from your military transcripts are transferable to the University of Arizona. These will be counted when you send your transcripts to the university after completing your application.
Review instructions for identifying military credits and then see how your credits will transfer.
