Service Unique Transcripts
Army: For everything you want to know about the free AARTS transcript
(Army/American Council on Education Registry Transcript System), go to
http://aarts.army.mil. This free
transcript includes your military training, your Military Occupational Specialty (MOS), and college
level examination scores with the college credit recommended for those experiences. It is a
valuable asset that you should provide to your college or your employer and it is available for
Active Army, National Guard and Reserve Soldiers. You can view and print your own transcript

Save time and Money: Unless you know for sure that you need to take a particular
course, wait until the school gets
all your transcripts before you sign up for classes. Otherwise you may end up taking
courses you don’t need.
