			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>By setting up an account at GoArmyEd, soldiers can request Tuition Assistance (TA) and gain access to their current balance at any time.  They can also use the site to enroll for courses and even drop a class if needed.</p>
<p><strong>Information for New Users </strong></p>
<p>-	Go to www.GoArmyEd.com and select the “New Users” tab.</p>
<p>-	Complete the application and then click on “Submit” to obtain your username and password.</p>
<p>-	Log onto the website using your username and password and complete the required In-Processing steps:</p>
<p>-	Read and print the “Submit Statement of Understanding” (SOU) and get your Commander’s signature</p>
<p>-	Follow directions on How to Use Your eFile to upload your SOU.</p>
<p>-	After completing the Common Application, click on “Launch Quick Start Training” to complete Soldier Training.  You are responsible for knowing and adhering to all GoArmyEd procedures.</p>
<p>-	Finally, to activate your account, contact your Army Education Counselor.</p>
<p><strong>TA Requirements</strong></p>
<p>-	The ceiling for tuition assistance is $4,500 per fiscal year, and $250 for each semester hour.</p>
<p>-	When using TA, you must maintain a minimum GPA of 2.0.</p>
<p>How to Request Assistance/Enroll in a Course</p>
<p>-   Log onto www.GoArmyEd.com and select “My Virtual Education Center.”</p>
<p>-	You can review your account information by clicking on “Account Information Verified.”</p>
<p>-	Before enrolling in a course, select the “Class Details” button to get more information to be sure this is a course you want to take.  Also, be sure to look at the cost covered by TA as well as any expenses you must take care of yourself before selecting “Process Enrollment” or “I agree to Pay.”</p>
<p>-	The View Results screen indicates the status of your enrollment request.  If the status column shows “Success,” you have successfully signed up, pending final approval from the school, and will receive confirmation via e-mail.</p>
<p><strong>If Your Don’t Find Your School in the Class Schedule</strong></p>
<p>-	Follow the first eight steps under How to Request TA and Enroll in a course.</p>
<p>-	On the Search Course Schedule screen, select the option “Click here if you wish to take a class from a school not listed.”</p>
<p>-	When the Request TA screen comes up, click on the magnifying glass next to the school field.</p>
<p>-	On the Lookup School screen, enter the name of the school and follow the next steps.  When the request is approved by the Army, you will receive a confirmation e-mail.</p>
<p>Note: If TA doesn’t cover all costs, you will be held accountable for paying the balance, which will be billed directly by the school.</p>
<p><strong>How to Check Your TA Balance</strong></p>
<p>-	Log onto the web site and select “My Student Record.”  Look under “Account Information” and click on the “Educational” tab.  You will be able to view what has been spent as well as funds available.</p>
<p>If You Wish to Drop a Class</p>
<p>-	Before dropping a class, a soldier must check with their instructor or an Army Education Counselor.  All courses must be dropped prior to the date the class ends.  Go on the web site and select “My Virtual Education Center,” then click on “Enroll/Drop from a Course” on your homepage.  Follow the steps that apply to your situation (i.e. if you registered through the Course Schedule or by using a TA Request Form.)</p>
<p><strong>TA Recoupment</strong></p>
<p>Costs will be recovered for:</p>
<p>-	Failing a class</p>
<p>-	An incomplete grade not resolved within 120 days</p>
<p>-	Classes dropped for personal reasons</p>
<p>-	A class that is not part of the Soldier’s degree plan</p>
