ASVAB Score Release
ASVAB results are reported to students and counselors on the ASVAB Summary Results sheet.
Each school determines whether the scores are released to the services. Participants can ‘opt in’ or ‘opt out’ of the release option chosen by your school by completing the appropriate form found online.
However, the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) (formerly, No Child Left Behind (NCLB)) requires the release of all school directory information to the military, regardless of ASVAB CEP participation.
Students may be contacted by a military recruiter even if they do not participate in the ASVAB CEP.
