The Navy College Program has added a "Virtual Counseling" tool to the Sailor/Marine American Council on Education Registry Transcript (SMART). This degree-shopping feature allows Sailors and Marines to watch their SMART credits transfer into a degree program offered by accredited colleges.

With the Navy's emphasis on enhancing promotion with academic achievement, more service members than ever before are using their military experience to earn college credits toward a degree.

To access the Sailor/Marine Online Academic Advisor (SMOLAA) and watch your SMART credits fall into a degree program, log into SMART.

Questions about the SMOLAA ? Contact the Virtual Education Center toll free at 1-877-838-1659, or email VEC@navy.mil, or contact your local Navy College Office/Marine Corps Education Center.
