This ^. You'll have the option of having the school's Registrar's Office evaluate your JST and determine how many credits you can have transferred in and what they can be applied towards. Be cautious before transferring
everything in though, if you've been in a long time and have a ton of "worthless" credits you can run into issues with Financial Aid if you need it at a later date (150% Rule). You can always transfer more in later but once posted, they can never be removed.
The smart thing to do is transfer in only what will directly apply towards your course requirements at first. If you have generic credits left over, wait until your Core and Major requirements are complete and then work with your advisor to transfer in the rest to meet your overall credit requirement to graduate (most universities require 120 credits for a 4 year degree and a large chunk of this are electives that your JST may work towards).
Your advisor will be able to help you with all of this.
If you're asking if anywhere will convert your JST/ACE over to a degree of some kind, it's unlikely. Best case scenario your JST/ACE will complete major requirements (ie. If you've been an Air Traffic Controller for 20 years and are going for an Associates in ATC) and then you'll have to complete the Core requirements (math, writing, ect) and whatever their In-Residence Credit Requirements are (generally 30 for a Bachelors and 15 for an Associates).
