Key Points to Remember For LOI schools, the enrollment window is opened two months before a class start date. If your school is not listed in GoArmyEd’s Course Schedule (non-LOI school), you MUST manually processa TA Request through GoArmyEd. A TA Request must be made 5 days prior to the class start date or upto 60 days before the start date of the class. You are required to provide documentation of the cost of your tuition and fees prior to submitting a TARequest Form for approval. Acceptable documents may include one or more of the following: A statement of tuition and fees from the school's catalog or Web site, or A screenshot for your on-line account with the school, or An itemized receipt, or Past or current invoice from the school.The total course cost and number of semester hours (or equivalent) provided in the documentation shouldmatch your TA Request. You are responsible for loading all supporting documentation to the eFile inGoArmyEd. A quarterly TA Statement of Understanding (TA SOU) must be acknowledged prior to enrolling in a class.You will not be permitted to use TA until you complete that step.
