    • Send an official copy of all high school and college transcripts, including military/Joint Service Transcripts (JST)  and Community College of the Air Force (CCAF) to DSCC.
    • Visit JST or CCAF to order military transcripts.
3.  Submit an official ACT/Sat score if you are under 21 years of age. If you do not have either, sign up to take the ACCUPLACER test.

    • This is not required but highly recommended to ensure you are awarded any aid you may be eligible for outside of your VA benefits.

5.  Apply for VA educational benefits.
6.  Request and submit your Certificate of Eligibility (COE).

8.  Complete and submit all required documents located on this page (see list below).
9.  Meet with your advisor to develop a plan towards graduation and register for classes during a designated orientation day or a scheduled meeting.
