Evaluation documents

The Coast Guard Institute (CGI) transcript is the required document for the evaluation of Coast Guard credit. The CGI transcript can be accessed by completing this form, through your ESO, or emailing CGI-PF-ed_transcripts@uscg.mil

The Coast Guard (along with the Navy, Army and Marine Corps) plans to transition from the current transcript to the Joint Services Transcript (JST). The JST will allow enlisted servicemembers who advance up-to and beyond officer status to continue to benefit from updated transcripts, in addition to standardizing transcript quality across all branches. The timeline for implementation has not yet been determined. 

Other military documents may be evaluated on a case-by-case basis, but the CGI and JST are the only guaranteed transcripts for evaluation. Contact MSC@ccis.edu with questions.
