SANS.edu Accepts Joint Services Transcript (JST) Credits

At SANS.edu, we recognize the training, education, and experience you’ve gained through military service. That’s why we accept Joint Services Transcript (JST) credits to help you:

Meet prerequisite credit requirements for undergraduate programs
Reduce the time and cost needed to complete your certificate or degree
Move faster toward a cybersecurity career

How JST Credits Apply

SANS.edu undergraduate programs require a certain number of prior college credits to enroll:

Cybersecurity Fundamentals Certificate (CSF): 12 prior credits
Applied Cybersecurity Certificate (ACS): 24 prior credits
Bachelor of Science in Applied Cybersecurity (BACS): 70 prior credits

Your JST credits may be applied toward these requirements, depending on the coursework and training completed during your service. SANS.edu awards credit in accordance with recommendations from the American Council on Education (ACE).

Submitting Your JST

As an active-duty service member, Veteran, or member of the Reserves, you’ll need to request your transcript from your branch of service and have it sent officially to SANS.edu

Follow these instructions to request your transcript:

For the Army, Navy, Marines, or Coast Guard: Submit an official transcript request on the JST website
