DSST Military Codes
The DSST (DANTES Subject Standardized Tests) program is a form of credit-by-examination offered by the Department of Defense's Defense Activity for Non-Traditional Education Support (DANTES) program.
DSST exams allow military personnel to receive college credit for knowledge they already know, saving them time and money when working towards a college degree.
The DSST Institutional Branch Codes are used by military personnel to report their test scores to their military institution for college credit.
The Military DSST Institutional Branch Codes for the Community College of the Air Force (CCAF), Army/American Council on Education Registry Transcript System (AARTS), Sailor/Marine American Council on Education Registry Transcript System (SMARTS), and Coast Guard (CGI) are listed below.
CCAF: 7992
AARTS (Now JST): 7965
SMARTS (Now JST):7964
Coast Guard (Now JST): 7968
DSST exams can be taken at testing centers or remotely through Prometric, which administers internet-based versions of DANTES exams under contract with the Department of Defense.
To take advantage of the DSST program, military personnel must be DANTES-funded eligible test takers with a valid Common Access Card (CAC).
