Among the published guides that will be used to develop credit recommendations are:

1. American Council on Education (ACE), as published in The Guide to the Evaluation of Educational Experiences in the Armed Services, will be used to evaluate military training and learning experiences.

2. American Council of Education's (ACE) Program on Non-collegiate Sponsored Instruction (PONSI), as published in The National Guide to Educational Credit for Training Programs, will be used to evaluate industrial and corporate training programs.

3. The National Program on Noncollegiate Sponsored Instruction (PONSI) reviews formal courses and educational programs sponsored by noncollegiate organizations, makes appropriate college-level credit recommendations for the courses and programs evaluated, and promotes academic recognition of these learning experiences to the nation's colleges and universities.

4. College Level Examination Program (CLEP) provides students of any age with the opportunity to demonstrate college-level achievement through a program of exams in undergraduate college courses.
