    • Central Texas College
      ATTN: Incoming Transcripts
      PO Box 1800
      Killeen, TX 76540-1800

If you choose CTC as your host college, your military evaluation will be completed prior to the end of your second class taken through GoArmyEd.  In order to process your evaluation, your AARTS and official transcripts from previous colleges attended must be received by CTC.

  1. Have a degree plan on record. Browse over 100 degree plans available through CTC on the GoArmyEd portal or on the CTC website.   Army Tuition Assistance (TA) policy requires Soldiers to have a SOCAD Student Agreement (SA) or documented degree plan uploaded to their GoArmyEd Student Records by the end of their second class taken at their home college or prior to completing nine semester hours at any college using TA. If the SOCAD SA or documented degree plan is not in place, a hold will automatically be placed to prevent the Soldier from using TA until this requirement is met. Official transcripts from prior colleges attended and your official AARTs must be on file with CTC before a SOCAD agreement can be issued.  If you currently have a paper SOCAD SA or a documented degree plan from your home college, take it to your Army Education counselor to have it scanned and uploaded to your GoArmyEd Student Record eFile. This requirement must be completed by the end of your second course.

  1. HOW TO AVOID CLASS REJECTIONS
    The most common error in class enrollment is selection of the wrong section. To avoid this type of rejection:
    • Ensure that the section selected corresponds to the tuition rate applicable to your physical location. Contact your site representative, refer to the first letter of the section number or log onto the class number search page (links) on the CTC website.
    • Ensure that your current physical location matches your address recorded on your common application. If it does not, correct your application. TA is only authorized for courses required for the completion of a Soldier's approved educational degree plan (degree or certificate). Soldiers who enroll in courses that are not part of their certificate/degree plan will be required to reimburse the TA-funded portion of tuition for the unauthorized course(s). Soldiers may not use TA for repeated courses, unless the Soldier has previously reimbursed the Army for the course.
    Please contact a counselor below if you are unsure of which section to select or have any other GoArmyEd/eArmyU questions.
