Department of Veterans Affairs (DVA) regulations require that all previous education (prior college, CLEP, DANTES, ACT/PEP credits) as well as military training and experience be evaluated by St. Petersburg College (SPC) and where applicable, be applied to shorten the program of education being pursued. It is the veteran's responsibility to ensure that acceptable records are sent to the Admissions Office for evaluation no later than the first term of enrollment. Prior credits received after certification can create an overpayment if the courses apply to the current program of study.
