Federal Program Participation

Several federally funded groups set standards for colleges educating service members. Dowling College participates in one of them. Involvement in these programs plays a key role in helping us determine how good an option a college is for veterans.

Unfortunately, we cannot confirm that Dowling College is a Post-9/11 G.I. Bill ® eligible college. You should verify eligibility with them directly.

Appeal, Appeal, Appeal

Don't accept a credit decision like it is an order from your commander that must be followed. There is usually a process at most colleges to appeal any transfer credit acceptance decision. If you can convince the school that your previous class is similar enough to a class at their school you can often get them to change their decision. Spending an hour or so doing that can save an entire semester's worth of work and money.

Additional Credit Considerations

Questions you may want to ask the admissions department.

  • What is your policy for accepting transfer credits from other colleges?
  • Who determines the relevance of prior courses to courses offered here and their applicability to my intended major?
  • What is your process for appealing initial transfer decisions I don't agree with?
  • Which nationally accredited colleges do you accept credits from?
