Whereas, Veterans are afforded military credit for their service, not all colleges afford the same amount of credit causing confusion when a student changes/transfers from one school to another or from one district to another; and
Whereas, Some California Community Colleges afford credit that is specific and applicable toward an A.A./A.S. degree such as health and physical education and some California
Community Colleges afford credit that is not as useful or as applicable as other community colleges;
Resolved, That the Student Senate for California Community Colleges work with the Academic Senate for California Community Colleges to review institutional practices in awarding credit for military service;
Resolved, That the Student Senate for California Community Colleges ask the Academic Senate for California Community Colleges to guide a unified approach to awarding
credit for those who have served in the military and are seeking a college education, which would benefit both the community college and the veteran; and
Resolved, That the Student Senate for California Community Colleges support the creation of a system to award credit for, but not limited to, the health and physical education requirement for the A.A./A.S. degree as it is already done at some California community colleges.
