A word about....
DD214 and Defense Language Proficiency Test (DLPT)
Available Now! Cabrillo will accept your DD214 for credit toward Cabrillo’s non‐transferable AA /AS degrees AND for our transferable CSU AA degree, limits apply:
3 units for Area E, Lifelong Learning and Self Development
If students are using DD214 for CSU, they must have their general education fully certified before transfer.
Good News: The DD214 does not have to be “official”. Admissions & Records will make a copy of your documentation for Academic Counseling to upload to your file. Unofficial is sufficient documentation to apply this credit toward the degree petition and for GE certification.
