Whether you have just returned from a tour or you are currently an active reservist, New England College has a program that can help you fulfill your education goals. You can choose to submit an application for admission online through either the Common Application, NEC e-application or the Student Choice Application.  If you would prefer a paper application choose “Download” to print out a copy on your printer and mail it directly to the Office of Admission.

We recognize the value of the military training you have accumulated and evaluate SMART transcripts for credit transfer, and as well as accept DANTES and PONSI credits. This previous experience could possibly be applied as college credit, ultimately reducing the amount of time it may take you to complete your undergraduate degree. If you have take college courses from any other accredited institution, simply request for an official transcript to be sent to the NEC Office of Admission for evaluation of transfer credits.
