Your Education Service’s Officer or military counselor must approve your military tuition assistance before you enroll in a course. Prior to your course enrollment, you may be required to develop an education plan or complete TA orientation. Military tuition assistance may only be used to pursue degree programs at colleges and universities in the United States that are regionally or nationally accredited by an accrediting body recognized by the US Department of Education. A quick way to check the accreditation of a school is by visiting the Department of Education website. Students should request and receive TA approval before making a financial commitment to Ottawa University.
