Background A Policy Evaluation on Cal Poly Pomona s Veterans Services Initiative, Elke Azpeitia, 2011. How do student veterans rate the process of attaining academic credit from CPP for their military service? Difficult to Understand 31.6% 8
Background I had a lot of technical training that probably should have converted into units that could be used to satisfy many courses, but the university only gave me general credits that go toward graduation. This really doesn t help me one bit. I even have a SMART transcript that gives details about what topics were covered, but the school isn t looking at that, (Respondent 2). 9
