Home : Military Professional Development : Army/ACE Registry Transcript System
The AARTS transcript is designed to facilitate the award of ACE (American Council on Education) credit recommendations.? The transcript is your individualized education record, taking from the Guide course and MOS information that pertains specifically to your educational and training experiences.? The transcript also includes the results of standardized, college-level tests that you may have taken. The ACE credit recommendations recognize learning from three sources:? formal service school courses (longer than 45 hours); military occupational Specialties (MOS); and college-level tests, such as the CLEP, DSSTS and ACT-PEP. To determine whether you are eligible to receive these recommended college credits or advanced placement, see your Education Services Officer or contact you college or university admissions officer.? Credit may be awarded towards you college degree if the college or university determines the credit recommendations are appropriate to your program of study. You may find omissions on your AARTS transcript, especially in the formal course area.? The reason for these omissions is the non-availability of computerized student completion data from some Army Service schools, especially for the years 1981-1985.? In these cases, provide the college or university official who is assisting you, with alternate proof of course completion; i.e., for DD 295 or DD 214 and /or certificates of course completion.? If you find any discrepancies in your AARTS transcript, report it to the AARTS Operation Center.? After researching your soldier file, the AARTS staff will explain the reason for the discrepancy and discuss solutions or alternatives. Enlisted soldiers, veterans and members of the National Guard or Reserves who entered active duty on or after October 1, 1981 are eligible for the AARTS transcript.? AARTS is not currently available to warrant officers or to commissioned officers. Eligible Soldiers and veterans may obtain transcript request forms (DA5454R) from the Army education counselors, or they may write directly to the AARTS Operation Center, 415 McPherson Avenue, FT. Leavenworth, KS 66027-1373.? When writing to the AARTS office your signature, social security number, basic active service date, ETS date, current address and phone number must be included. Normally it will take up to ten working days for your request to be processed.? If, for any reason, it should take longer, you will receive notification from the AARTS office.? It is recommended that when you request a transcript to be sent to a college or university you also request a copy for yourself. When applying to the college of your choice, send an official AARTS transcript directly to the college. You can also order a copy of your AARTS transcript by e-mailing the appropriate information to: aarts@leav-emh1.army.mil.? For soldiers with e-mail access, this is the fastest way to order the AARTS transcript. Includes the soldier?s name, social security number, rank, military status, time in service and the highest academic level completed (i.e. high school graduate, two years of college and so on. Includes the College Level Examination Program (CLEP), American College Testing Program PEP (ACT-PEP), Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT), and DANTES Subject Standardized Test (DSST) scores.? Each test listing includes the test number, test titles, date the test was taken, score earned by the student, ACE recommended credit.? The credit recommendation is included only if the score earned is equal to or higher than the ACE recommended passing score. The first entry on every transcript will be the Basic Military Training.? Dates are not included because all soldiers take this training and the ACE credit recommendation is valid for the years covered by the transcript.? Additionally, the list of courses completed will included a course title, the ACE military Guide ID number, the location at which the course was taken, the dates of attendance, the Army course number, a course description, and the ACE credit recommendation. Includes the military occupational specialty (MOS) group code, the ACE military Guide ID number, the specialty title, and the primary, duty, and secondary MOS?s held by the soldier.? In a majority of the cases the primary and duty occupational specialty will be the same.? Under ?SQT/SDT Taken? will be the number and level of the qualification tested, the date taken and the score received.? Skill Qualification Tests (SQT) were given until September, 1991, and Self Development Tests (SDT) were given during the period October 1991 to January 1995.? There is a description of the duties performed by the soldier in that specialty and the ACE recommended credit.? If the soldier holds a duty MOS different from the primary MOS, there will be no test score.? Duty and secondary MOS?s do not carry skill test scores. Includes courses that ACE will never evaluate for college credit, those that are pending evaluation, and those that are evaluated but are not currently computer compatible.? Eventually most of the learning experiences in the second and third categories will be included in the main body of the transcript.
