Soldiers may request Tuition Assistance through the upgraded ArmyIgnitED

Important Notes:

There will be no more blanket ETP for FY23 courses and beyond (course start dates of 1 October 2022 and later). All TA requests must be submitted in the upgraded ArmyIgnitED.
With the new ArmyIgnitED, Soldiers must apply for Tuition Assistance (TA) in the system no earlier than 60 days and no later than 7 days prior to the class start date.
Soldiers must accept the TA User Agreement (formerly the Statement of Understanding) when submitting a TA Request.
All TA requests must be approved prior to the start date of the course.
Eligible Soldiers must enroll directly with their Academic Institution after a TA request is approved in ArmyIgnitED.
Soldiers will be solely responsible for all tuition costs if TA is not approved prior to the course start date.
TA is approved on a course-by-course basis and only for the specific course(s) and class dates that a Soldier requests.
Soldiers must drop or withdraw from a course with their school and process all requests for recoupment waivers for withdrawals in ArmyIgnitED.

Return of Unearned Tuition Assistance Funds to the Government

If you are using Tuition Assistance (TA) to pay for your education and drop or withdraw from a course, the Department of Defense requires that University of Guam return any unearned TA funds to the department based on how much of the course you completed and that you pay a portion of those returned funds. You may owe a portion of your tuition to the University of Guam and/or a portion to your military branch.

16 Week Course Withdraw Submitted*	Return
Before or during weeks 1-2	100%
During weeks 3 – 4	75%
During weeks 5 - 8	50%
During week 9 (60% of course completed)	40%
During weeks 10 - 16	0%

Before dropping or withdrawing from a course, please contact your ESO (military education office) or the University of Guam’s Military/Veteran Student Services to determine how it could impact your Military Tuition Assistance and potential repayment obligations.

*A 4 week course, 5 week course and 7 week course, are 60% completed at 2.4 weeks, 3 weeks, and 4 weeks, respectively. For more information contact your ESO or UOG's Military/Veteran Student Services.
