兵役学分

House Bill 269 makes military veterans who enroll in Texas universities and meet certain requirements eligible to receive undergraduate credit for the time they spent in the service. Eligible veterans receive college credit for all the required physical education courses needed for their degree and up to an additional 12 credit hours of elective course work.

注意: Credit awarded under HB 269 is awarded for having served, not for college-level courses that might have been taken while in the military. There is a separate process for this type of military credit.

德克萨斯南方大学 does not have any degree programs that require physical education courses so we will not award any credit for physical education under HB 269. If you meet the HB 269 eligibility requirements, you may receive up to 12 credit hours for general elective coursework to satisfy the degree requirements.

All TSU degree programs do not have opportunities for general elective course work so you will need to speak with your academic advisor to determine the number of credits to request/accept based on the number of general electives in your degree plan. 结果是, some veterans may want to request all 12 credit hours, or it may better serve others to accept fewer than 12 credit hours. 学生 can request 3, 6, 9 or the full 12 credit hours.

TSU will not accept HB 269 credit that has been granted by other institutions. 您需要完成 兵役学分 Request Form and appropriate documentation to receive this credit.
