Army TA Portal to reopen

ARMY TA PROGRAM REINSTATED: Effective 9 April 2013 at 2400 hours EDT the course enrollment functionality that Soldiers use to request Tuition Assistance will be reactivated. Shortly before midnight, we will run a program that will remove the hold that was placed on all Soldier record's to reactivate the "Request TA" smart link. It will take about 30 to 60 minutes for the program to run and once it is completed all Soldiers who are eligible for TA will again be able to request TA. When TA functionality is reinstated tonight, the rules that governed the use of TA prior to the suspension, as well as the $250 semester hour cap and $4,500 fiscal year ceiling will remain in place throughout the rest of Fiscal Year 2013. If you have any questions please call your Army Education Center for more details.

Army Tuition Assistance Suspension

The Secretary of the Army today suspended Tuition Assistance immediately for all soldiers – active duty, Reserve and National Guard personnel. This means that no soldiers may register for classes through the GoArmyEd portal for any upcoming semester, term, or session. For the Army notice, visit https://www.goarmyed.com/public/public_display_news.aspx?news_id=1670&type=5.

Soldiers can initiate or continue GI Bill benefits, or use other funding sources to continue their education. Click here to access TROY’s Veterans Benefits Information.

Troy University students who utilize Army Tuition Assistance will not be able to register for upcoming classes through the GoArmyEd portal. However, Army students who wish to continue their education through Troy University, at their normal tuition rate, may do so by registering for classes through Trojan Web Express.

Students who have questions regarding Army Tuition Assistance, or other military tuition assistance, should contact their local education centers for assistance. For University-related questions or assistance with financial aid, students should contact the University at (800) 414-5756.
