After you have applied for Admission to AMU and chosen one of the approved SOCNAV Degree Network System (DNS) Programs, you should begin the Transfer Credit Evaluation process immediately. During this process, your prior academic, military, and exam credits will be reviewed and applied toward your new AMU Bachelor's Degree. Once this is completed, your SOCNAV STUDENT AGREEMENT will be generated and sent to you via e-mail.

Visit the APUS Transfer Credit site to "GET STARTED" with the Transfer Credit Evaluation Process.

While waiting for the results of your Credit Evaluation to be completed and your Student Agreement to be generated, we encourage you to register for a course unlike any other you have taken in the past.  If you need assistance with your first course selection, please contact counseling@apus.edu.

Additionally, it is important to note that while AMU makes every effort to identify our eligible SOCNAV students, it is the student's responsibility to alert AMU that he/she may fall under the SOCNAV DNS by e-mailing his/her Student ID to SOC@apus.edu. 

As with most articulation agreements or MOUs, participation in the SOCNAV Degree Network is only open to students who are admitted to AMU after our official acceptance into the Degree Network System, which is March 31, 2008. 

Students who completed their transfer admission (TCE) to AMU before official participation in the SOCNAV Degree Network were admitted under program, admissions, and transfer credit policies in place at the time, and therefore are not eligible to participate. For questions about the SOCNAV program and AMU, please send an e-mail to SOC@apus.edu

Yes!  You have the option of changing your program of study in order to participate in the SOCNAV Degree Network System; however, changing your Academic Program can have a significant impact on your degree completion. An Academic Program Change can only be done after seeking the guidance and recommendation of your APUS Student Advisor. For questions about changing your APUS Academic Program, contact counseling@apus.edu.

For questions about the SOCNAV program and AMU, please send an e-mail to SOC@apus.edu.   

Students participating in the SOCNAV system who wish to take courses with AMU to transfer back to their “home college” should first register as an UNDERGRADUATE COURSES FOR TRANSFER student.   

Then you need to contact the Military Credit Evaluations Department to be sure that the coursework you intend to take at AMU is listed on the SOC transferability tables.  Only courses approved and appearing on these tables will result in a guarantee of transferability to your home institution. 

You can contact the Military Credit Evaluations Department at SOC@apus.edu for more specific information on this process.

First, you need to notify your current “Home College” of your intent, and be sure to discuss this with your ESO (Education Service Officer) as well. Failure to notify these parties before beginning coursework at AMU could result in delayed registrations, and Tuition Assistance Funding.

For detailed information about SOCNAV Student Responsibilities, visit http://www.soc.aascu.org/socnav/Default.html.

Once the proper notifications have been sent, you can begin your studies at AMU by completing the online Admissions Application and select one of the approved SOCNAV Degree Network Academic Programs. You should then begin the Transfer Credit Evaluation process immediately. During this process, your prior academic, military, and exam credits will be reviewed and transferred in toward your new Bachelors Degree with AMU. Once this is completed, your SOCNAV STUDENT AGREEMENT will be generated and sent to you via e-mail.
