Using Navy Tuition Assistance
The Navy Tuition Assistance Authorization document may be submitted for payment of Tuition and the Technology Fee for enrollment at TCC. The
student is responsible for paying the portion of the tuition not covered by the
TA, and submission of the TA document signifies that the student accepts
liability for payment of the tuition and fees not covered. TCC uses the TA document
to invoice the Navy for the covered amount.
BEFORE SUBMITTING your Tuition Assistance
Authorization to TCC, please write your TCC Student Identification System (SIS) number in the
upper left hand corner of the TA authorization, under the NETPDTC 1560/3 Rev.
(09/07) form number and above your SSN. Writing
your TCC SIS number on your TA authorization will
expedite the registration, enrollment and payment process. |
Submitting the TA
document makes the non-Virginia domiciled military student eligible for military contract rates for the entire
registration for the semester. If a military student does not submit a TA
document for the specific semester, the student must pay the entire bill at the
applicable out-of-state rate, UNLESS appropriate paperwork is provided to the TCC Domicile Office in order to establish eligibility for the Virginia Contract Rate. For additional assistance or information on
Tuition Assistance, contact your Educational Services Officer, Navy College
Office, or TCC Base Representative. You may also contact a TCC CMVE Advisor at the numbers listed below.
Eligibility for Navy Tuition Assistance requires:
- Completion of the Navy's TA Online Training for Active Duty, located under Navy College Programs on the Navy College website. Review the slide presentation, fill-in the Certificate of Completion, and submit the certificate to your Navy College Office or the Navy's Virtual Education Center (VEC);
- A Degree Plan must be submitted and on file with your local Navy College Office and the Navy's Virtual Education Center (VEC) for uploading to the Navy's TA database (NCMIS). The Degree Plan may be the Rating Roadmap from this website, an unofficial evaluation by a TCC or Navy College Advisor, or your official TCC SOC Evaluation. Email or phone a TCC Military Programs Advisor with any questions.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
If you make ANY CHANGES once you have requested Navy TA and submitted it to TCC for payment, you should immediately notify the TCC Business and Enrollment Services offices or your TCC advisor, as well as your Navy College Office or the Virtual Education Center (VEC) so that your TA Authorization can be updated.
Your Tuition Assistance Document must exactly match your TCC enrollment.
To remain eligible for Tuition Assistance, Members must successfully complete the
course(s) in which enrolled, earn a passing grade, and maintain an education file with their Navy
College office or the VEC. Withdrawal or a grade of
"F" for college-level courses, or a "R/U" (repeat or unsatisfactory) in a developmental course will result
in a financial obligation to the Navy. The service member must
maintain an overall 2.0 grade point average to retain eligibility for tuition
assistance.
Tuition and Fees Payment:
Credit cards (Visa and Mastercard
only) are accepted for payment of your tuition and/or fees. Cash will NOT be
accepted at the on-base offices. Students should refer to the main TCC tuition site for the schedule of tuition deadlines. Failure to pay by the deadline
will result in being deleted from the course, with no guarantee of reinstatement in that course if it becomes filled.
If local, payment can be made to
the TCC on-base representative at the base locations or to the campus business
offices. Remember that the original TA paperwork represents a significant
portion of the payment and must accompany your check, money order or credit card
payment.
