ACE, PONSI, Military Credit
Students may have already earned credit through work-site
training or government-sponsored workshops or military experience.
If students have certificates or other documentation which
states that the American Council on Education (ACE) or the
National Program on Non-Collegiate Sponsored Instruction (PONSI)
assess that training, credit may be available for coursework
for which there are equivalencies in the MSU Billings curriculum.
Military credit is assessed from the DD 214, DD 295 or the
military transcript.
Contact Amy Beatty, College of Technology, at 247-3057,
for questions about this type of training or for military
