Allows veterans to receive academic credit at state or city operated institutions.

New York A09382 amends the education law to allow veterans to receive academic credit at state or city operated institutions. The bill defines a veteran as a resident who has served in the U.S. military or naval service and been released under honorable conditions. Full-time undergraduate students in good standing can apply for credit for completed courses that meet American Council on Education standards. No fees, tuition, or charges apply to qualifying veterans. The board of trustees must adopt necessary procedures to implement these provisions.
