Course Equivalencies:
Some military training can be used for college credit.
For Military Science Credit: Some military training can be used for college credit. Once you obtain your military transcripts, you’ll need to take them by Longwood’s ROTC office (434.395.2136; Iler 102) and have Mr. Jeffrey Suttle review them. The ROTC office is not always open, however, and you’ll need to contact them to see when they’ll be available.
It may then take up to five business days before your equivalencies can be determined and passed on to Ms. Hannah Ledger in the Registrar’s Office. She is in charge of manually updating your course records.
For military experience that may be relavent to your major transcripts can be taken to the Department CHair for your major. The Department Chair will evaluate whethere or not credit can be granted on a case by case basis, and will then contact Hannah Ledger in the Office of the Registrar.
