Principles of Excellence
• President Obama signed Executive Order 13607
Evaluated educational plan. An official academic document provided by the
educational institution that:
(1) articulates all degree requirements required for degree completion or, in the
case of a non-degree program, all educational requirements for completion
of the program;
(2) identifies all courses required for graduation in the individual’s intended
academic discipline and level of postsecondary study; and
(3) includes an evaluation of all successfully completed prior coursework as well
as an evaluation of credit for military training, experience, and other credit
sources applied to the institutional degree requirements.

School’s Responsibility
Establish an Account
To have an account established to enable online viewing of official JSTs for your
institution, please send the name, e-mail address, and phone number for each point-ofcontact you wish to have an account established. Please also include the physical
mailing address for the campus you need the account established, as this will ensure
the account is established for the correct location.
Requests should be sent directly to the JST Tech/Operations Center: jst@doded.mil
JST offers online accounts to learning institutions enabling access to service-member’s
official transcripts at no cost. The transcript on the web is exactly the same as the
transcript you receive in the mail. Transcripts ordered are available for
viewing/downloading the next business day and an e-mail is automatically sent to the
points-of-contact at your institution to inform them that there are transcripts available
online at the secure website.

School’s Responsibility Upgraded Account
Your account can be upgraded to permit you to order transcripts as well as view them
online if you meet the one of the following conditions:
• Prospective students agree to allow your institution to request all transcripts on
their behalf. Permission can be obtained via the checkbox on the student
application or on the web. You can fax or e-mail a blank application showing the
section where the prospective student would grant this authorization.
• Your institution agrees to not order transcripts unless they have a signed release
from the service member. This requirement can be satisfied by sending an e-mail
to us stating you promise to never order an official transcript without a signed
release from the service member.
