Life & Work
Veteran students at colleges and universities would be able to earn credit faster by testing out of courses they already know from military experience. Portfolio assessments, where a college reviews a veteran's military training documentation, are also covered. This could shorten time to degree completion and free up benefit months for other coursework.
“An assessment by an institution of higher learning of a portfolio or written narrative by a student with supporting documentation that demonstrates prior military training or learning.”
