J-140 Approved Tuition Assistance for Service Members

If an eligible Service Member decides to use Military Tuition Assistance (TA) from their branch of service (Service), the College will enroll them only after the individual’s Service approves the TA. Service Members will be solely responsible for all tuition costs without this prior approval. This requirement does not prohibit the College from pre-registering a Service Member in a course to secure a slot in the course. If the College enrolls the Service Member before the appropriate Service approves the TA, then the Service Member could be responsible for the tuition.

All TAs must be requested and approved before the course starts. The TA is approved on a course-by-course basis and only for the specific course(s) and class dates that a Service Member requests. If a military Student “self-identifies” their eligibility and the Service has not approved the funding, then the Service Member will be solely responsible for all tuition costs, not the Service.

MILITARY TUITION ASSISTANCE (TA) ELIGIBLE COURSES

Courses will be considered eligible for TA if they are:

• Part of an individual’s evaluated educational plan.

• Prerequisites for courses within the individual’s evaluated educational plan.

• Required for acceptance into a higher-level degree program unless otherwise specified by service regulations.
