assistance program. It provides active duty personnel funding for tuition costs
for courses taken in an off-duty status at a regionally, nationally or
professionally accredited college, university, vocational/technical institution,
or other facility recognized by the Department of Education. Navy TA pays for
both classroom and independent study/distance learning courses, regardless of
course length. Courses must be offered in Semester Hours, Quarter Hours, Clock
Hours or Continuing Education Units (CEUs). The credit earned must
show on the institution's transcript. For more information contact your local
