Military Crosswalk of Competencies
​

The NGTC created a military crosswalk to award credit for prior learning and facilitate a service member's transition to a civilian education.  The foundation of the crosswalk is based upon the Joint Service Transcript (JST).  The JST provides information regarding military course completion, military experience, or college-level test scores and serves as the foundation for a military crosswalk of competencies acquired while in service.
​
The American Council on Education (ACE) develops an “exhibit” which provides recommended credit for service members. There are course and occupation exhibits developed for applicable military occupations and service schools. A course exhibit contains an evaluation developed from the official military program of instruction (POI) and includes learning outcomes. An occupation exhibit contains an evaluation of the knowledge gained in the course of a service member’s career and recognizing the additional skills inherent to career progression.
​
The pertinent course and occupation exhibits, with the ACE’s recommended academic credit, were compiled into spreadsheets.  This information summarized all recommended credit for a service member who attended a geospatial (or related) military school or worked in a geospatial occupation.  This effort enables an expedited evaluation by the receiving academic institution.
