Veteran transfer policy description
There are no other military/veteran transfer credit policies unique to University College, but we do allow students to register for undergraduate-level classes before they have been admitted if they have a means of paying the tuition, and that tuition can be paid using military benefits in some cases, depending on the Department of Defense rules at the time the student is registering.
