SOC Degree Network System The SOC Degree Network System (DNS) consists of a subset of SOC Consortium member institutions selected by the military Services to deliver specific Associate and Bachelor’s degree programs to servicemembers and their families. Institutional members of the SOC DNS agree to special requirements and obligations that provide military students, their spouses and college-age children with opportunities to complete college degrees without suffering loss of academic credit due to changes of duty station.
SOC operates the 2- and 4-year Degree Network System for the Army (SOCAD), Navy (SOCNAV), Marine Corps (SOCMAR), and Coast Guard (SOCCOAST). Franklin University actively participates in SOCAD (2- and 4-year), SOCCOAST (4-year only), SOCGUARD (2- and 4-year), and ConAP only. Refer to the SOC Degree Network System-2 and -4 Handbooks to view Associate and Bachelor’s degree programs, location offerings, and college information. An electronic version of the Handbook is posted on the SOC website,
www.soc.aascu.org, on the SOCAD, SOCCOAST, SOCGUARD, and ConAP home pages.
Servicemembers Opportunity College is intended for individuals in the armed services and their spouses who are interested in college but find it difficult to pursue a degree because of problems related to service transfer and meeting degree requirements. The individual interested in this program can obtain information by contacting the Military Admissions and Services Office at Franklin University or the educational counseling office at the base where the individual is stationed.
Upon accepting the student, Franklin University acts as the academic depository and counseling/advising agent for the student. During the enlistment period, the student takes college- level courses approved by Franklin University to meet the various requirements of the particular major program offered by the University. Credits for these courses are transferred to Franklin University’s academic depository. Course selection is based on periodic contact between the University and the enlisted individual.
A student participating in Franklin University’s approved SOC programs is required to complete 25 percent of the coursework through Franklin. Students are still subject to grade point average (GPA) and major area residency requirements.
Franklin University is also a GoArmyEd partner. GoArmyEd
allows active duty Army personnel to complete a two-year Associate of Science or a four-year Bachelor of Science degree while they serve their country. Coursework taken per the Student Agreement will be transferred to Franklin University according to the SOC Transferability Tables. The Student Agreement allows the soldier to complete a degree even after separation from military service, with the assurance that coursework will transfer to Franklin University.
GRADE REPORTS
Grade reports normally are mailed within one week after the end of each grading period. No grades will be released by telephone.
