t Credit for Other Types of Military Training. Credit for spe-
1 cialized training taken in other than accredited educational institu-
l` tions will be allowed only on the basis of demonstrated proficiency
in a particular subject or subjects. In evaluating such training, the
- university of Kentucky will depend largely on The Guide to the
1 Evaluation of Educational Experiences in the Armed Forces of the
; American Council on Education, and on proficiency examinations.
5 The procedure for applying for credit for military training
‘ taken in other than accredited colleges and universities is as fol-
* lows. Army, Navy, Marine Corps, or Coast Guard Personnel still
on active duty should apply directly to the University of Kentucky,
t using USAFI Form No. 47 (Revised). This form will be widely dis-
tributed through military channels, and made available to men
` and women in service both in the United States and in overseas
Q theatres of operation. It may also be obtained by writing the Armed
' Forces Institute, Madison 3, Wisconsin.
The Veteran of World War II no longer on active duty may
’ apply by writing directly to the University inclosing with his letter
* a certified copy of the official Separation Form used by the branch
V of the service in which he served.
The mere filing of an application will not, of course, insure
that any credit will be allowed. Generally speaking, credit will be
granted only when there is clear evidence of proficiency in a speci-
fic subject or subjects ordinarily included in college or university
curricula. The applicant may be asked to establish proficiency in a
particular subject or his general educational level by taking ex-
aminations. These examinations may be those of the Armed Forces
Institute or they may be examinations prepared at the University.
