You've Mastered Life in the Military
Now it's time for that master's degree or graduate certificate.

Submit the Application for Admission
Complete the Acknowledgement of Student Rights and Responsibilities
As a veteran, the military likely taught you to respect rules. So please read over the University’s policies and procedures, accept the University’s agreement to handle disputes through arbitration, and review the Veteran Student Acknowledgment information.
Verify Your Identity
We believe you are who you say you are. Still, we request a copy of the Joint Services Transcript, on your behalf, in lieu of requiring a photo ID. Air Force applicants are required to submit a valid government-issued photo ID to documents@apus.edu.
Tour the Ecampus
Receive Educational/Benefit Counseling
Your admissions representative will brief you on education benefits, funding, and University policies.
Send Official Undergraduate or Higher Transcript
As a student enrolled in a master’s degree, you must provide documentation of your conferred bachelor’s degree or higher from an institution whose accreditation is recognized by CHEA. You will not be eligible to register for courses until you have demonstrated conferral of a bachelor’s degree or higher.
You may provide an unofficial transcript of your bachelor’s or graduate degree (with conferral) or a copy of your diploma to your admissions representative so you may be permitted to register for courses. Students will then have 8 weeks from the start of their first course to submit their official transcript and complete their record.
Please have official transcripts mailed to:
APUS - Attn: Student Records
