What is a Servicemembers Opportunity College (SOC) Agreement?
A SOC (Servicemembers Opportunity Colleges) is an agreement between the university and the soldier that will protect your credits and degree program as you transfer from duty station to duty station. It also offers a way to select courses from many colleges within the SOC Network for guaranteed transferability to your UMUC degree plan. Military students who are pursuing an undergraduate degree at UMUC are eligible for a SOCAD agreement. Graduate students and students pursuing only a certificate are not eligible for a SOC agreement. Please note: UMUC stateside will honor valid overseas SOC agreements for Air Force. However, UMUC stateside does not have a contract with the Air Force, so no new SOC Agreements will be processed.
