Of course it's legal. There are no laws covering what credit a college has to except. That's all in-house policy. Awarding ACE credit to military isn't discrimination, it's a criteria. Colleges can award ACE credit to students whose birthdays are odd numbers, are enrolled in X credits, live in district, are above/below a certain years outside of highschool, have taken/not taken x credits in a subject, and any other random criteria. None of that is discrimination.
In writing. Please get the policy in writing. An advisor can say anything they want. There is NO ACCOUNTABILITY and the advisor will ALWAYS win. (afterall, the student simply misunderstood our policy) Writing. Writing. Writing.
