Expedite Your Military TA in 5 Easy Steps

1. Determine the paperwork you’ll need.

If this is your first time setting up TA, or if you have relocated to a new base, you may need some or all of the following documents in order to complete the TA process with your ESO. Please contact your ESO to determine which documents you will need, and follow these directions to locate them and print them out:

  • Registration Receipt - Login to the campus with your student ID and password and click on "Registration Receipt" located on the left hand toolbar.
  • Official Degree Path - Login to the campus and click on "My Degree Path" located on the left hand toolbar, then click on "View Printable Version".

2. Visit the Base Education Center

No later than 3 weeks prior to your class start date.


3. Complete the TA Form(s).

Please make sure to submit the proper number of forms: Students taking more than one course can submit one TA form if all their courses have the same "start date". Students taking more than one course where the course start dates are different (i.e. one in Spring 2004 A and one in Spring 2004 K) must submit a separate TA form for each class.

Forms

  • Army is DD 2171 Form
  • Air Force is AF Form 1227
  • Navy and Marines is Form NETPDTC 1560/3 (Application for Tuition Assistance)
  • Coast Guard is Form CG4147

Information

  • Correct Course number and title
  • Start and End Dates for the course(s)
  • Billing address for invoices to be sent

Signatures

  • Proper signatures from Education Services Officer (ESO) and Command Representative
  • Student signature

4. Send (FAX or MAIL) approved forms to APUS prior to your course start date.

Fax copy of approved, completed TA form to 304-724-3781 or toll-free 866-755-8763.

  • Please do not send the Application for Tuition Assistance; this is not the approved form.
  • Please make sure that the form is on the outgoing fax machine properly. If it faxes upside-down, APUS receives a blank page.
  • If the Ed Center will fax the paperwork for you, please make sure that it has been done.

5. Allow 48 hours for APUS to process the TA form, once it is faxed and follow-up if necessary.

If you do not receive a TA form confirmation email within 48 hours after you fax it, please follow up via email to ta@apus.edu. Please always include your full name and student ID so that we can best assist you.



ATTENTION ACTIVE DUTY ARMY SOLDIERS USING MILITARY TUITION ASSISTANCE!


The Army Tuition Assistance (TA) process has changed.  TA forms for classes will no longer get approved by local Education Service Officers. Instead, Army students will use the online TA approval process at the Army's Web portal at www.goarmyed.com.

Army students wishing to begin a degree program at AMU should follow these simple steps to get started:

  1. Log onto www.amu.apus.edu, click on the red Apply Now button and complete the online application and orientation.
  2. Register for your first course(s) and submit your Transfer Credit Evaluation form. (If applicable)
  3. Log onto GoArmyEd portal to get TA approved.

The Army will provide supplemental information and instructions to all soldiers about using GoArmyEd.

AMU supports the Army’s initiative to centralize tuition assistance management.  We are proud to be a partner with the Army Continuing Education System (ACES) in supporting your educational goals.

AMU is a member institution of the American Public University System (APUS), which is regionally accredited by the Higher Learning Commission (HLC) of the North Central Association and nationally accredited by the Accrediting Commission, Distance Education and Training Council.
