Generating a Tuition Assistance Approval Form Soldiers receive an e-mail with instructions when their TA request is approved or rejected. IMMEDIATE RESPONSE IS REQUIRED. If rejected, the soldier will need to fix the error and then change the TA request status back to “Pending”. Without returning the TA request back to pending, the TA request may not be reviewed a second time for approval. -- If approved, Soldiers are required to provide their TA Authorization forms to their school business office – FOR EACH APPROVAL RECEIVED.
All information should be validated by the soldier. The soldier can either save this document to the desk top and email the form to the School’s Primary POC or print the form off and turn it into the Primary School POC.
Invoicing and Grades • SCHOOLS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR: • Invoicing for each approved TA request • Updating grades within 45 days of the completion of the class NOTE: a HOLD will automatically be placed on the Soldier’s account if grade isn’t updated. • SOLDIERS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR CHECKING ON THEIR TA STATUS IN GAE.
