ARMY PROMOTION POINTS FOR CIVILIAN EDUCATION
TOTAL MAXIMUM POINTS: 75 for Promotion to SGT and 100 for Promotion to SSG
Civilian education valid for promotion points. Promotion points are authorized for civilian education conducted at a U.S.
Department of Education recognized nationally or regionally accredited institution. Recognized educational institutions
are those listed in the American Council on Education (ACE) published Accredited Institutions of Postsecondary
Education Guide or those institutions listed on the US Department of Education website at http://ope.ed.gov/accreditation.
It is recommended that Soldiers consolidate all credits earned from various crediting sources, i.e. national examinations
such as The College Level Examination Program tests/Defense Activity for Non-Traditional Education Support (DANTES)
tests, or educational institutions onto one transcript. Soldiers currently enrolled in a college/university are required to
provide a single transcript from their current college/university consolidating all past civilian education. Soldiers that have
multiple transcripts who are not currently enrolled in a college/university may take these transcripts and grade slips to the
local education center for assistance. The local education center will provide only an assessment of the total number of
non-duplicated postsecondary credit for submission to the unit as the source document to update TAPDB with the total
number of credit hours.
The total number of credits an accredited institution grants towards a degree will be the basis for granting promotion
points. Semester hours must be updated in TAPDB and reflected on the Soldier Enlisted Records Brief (ERB) which will
be the source in determining promotion points. Soldiers will receive one (1) promotion point for each semester hour (SH)
completed. All quarter/contact/clock hours will be converted to SH. SH are defined as 15 hours of classroom contact
hours plus 30 hours of outside preparation. 1 SH = 1.5 Quarter Hours (QH); 1SH = 15 Classroom, Clock, or Contact
Hours (CH).
