To receive credit for your military service, you must submit a Joint Services Transcript (JST). Visit the JST website, and request your transcript be sent to KSU electronically. Air Force veterans and service members should request their Community College of the Air Force (CCAF) transcript to receive military credit.

5. Claim your Active Duty Status

Verify your active duty status with the Office of Veterans and Military Student Affairs Important Information for Students

Students must provide verification of active duty status at the beginning of each academic year.
Students must verify their active duty status by the end of the Add/Drop period in their first term, as well as by the end of the Add/Drop period in the first term of each subsequent academic year. Online students registered for both terms must verify their Active Duty Status prior to the Add/Drop date for the fall term.

6. Apply for Federal Tuition Assistance

Each branch of service has its own rules and procedures regarding Tuition Assistance, but service members may be eligible for up to $4,000 in educational benefits per year. These funds are paid directly to the university to be applied towards tuition expenses. If the cost of tuition exceeds the cap for TA, service members may be eligible to use VA education benefits for out-of-pocket costs.
