It was very easy, all it took was an email to the registrar including my GI Bill COE. In fact, for all military, I recommend enrolling first under MDCP just to lock in the catalog year, and before your last semester, switch to the enrolled option (if you do want to get the 24 credits) and the GI Bill will cover it and use about 12 weeks of benefits. You can also use TECEPs instead of CLEPs to fill the requirement cheaply (approx $100 per TECEP exam).

PrLoko-isms
Don't waste time by trying to save time. The only sure way to complete your degree is to knock out credits quickly and efficiently.

Don't let easiness bite you in the rear. Know your endgame (where you want to be) and plan backward from there. Your education is a means to an end.

Be honest professionally, socially and academically. There are people (especially little ones) who look up to you and they're going by your example.

Be proud. Whether you're an Engineer or Fast Food worker, there is honor and dignity in hard work.

Picking on people weaker than you only proves that you are a weak person.
