1. Register for an account using the Joint Services Transcript (JST) portal.
2. Send your JST to CCRI using the portal. Your JST will be in que with other student
JSTs to be processed. The Prior Learning Coordinator will then review the transcript
for a possible credit award. On average, JSTs are processed within 1-3 weeks of receipt.

for specific credit by the appropriate department chair. For example, you were trained
for IT and your CCRI program is related to IT. Note: The Prior Learning Coordinator
will arrange this evaluation for you.
