Go Army Ed

GoArmyEd provides virtual access for all eligible Active Duty, National Guard and Army Reserve Soldiers to request Tuition Assistance (TA) online for classroom and distance learning. It allows Soldiers to manage their education records including college classes, testing, on-duty classes and Army Education Counselor support. GoArmyEd is used by Soldiers, Army Education Counselors and schools to deliver degree and course offerings and to report Soldier progress.

How do I Request TA and Enroll in a Course?
Every term, after registering with CTU, you will receive an e-mail at your official Army address from the college telling you which corresponding courses and sections to enroll in through GoArmyEd.

You will not be able to request Tuition Assistance (TA) though GoArmyEd more than 60 days in advance of the class start date; however, you must request TA through GoArmyEd before the class start date! Failure to do so may result in your being liable to the Army or CTU for all TA amounts.
