Get Started

If you plan to use Military Tuition Assistance (TA), it is critical that you have received approval from an Education Services Officer (ESO) or counselor within your respective service, prior to enrolling in courses.

  1. Apply to TESU Complete the Online Application (the application fee is currently being waived for military-affiliated students)

    Undergraduate Submit official copies of civilian transcripts, as well as notarized copies of licenses and/or certificates.1

    Graduate Submit an official transcript from the school which granted the bachelor’s degree.2
    Applying for a graduate degree is unlike the undergraduate process, in that your online application is not immediately accepted. Rather, you will receive a determination regarding admission within 10-15 business days, from receipt of your completed application and supporting documentation.

    If you are eligible for Army Tuition Assistance (TA), create an account with ArmyIgnitED and follow the instructions for utilizing ArmyIgnitED.

    1 You do not need to request a copy of your Joint Services Transcript (JST), as we will ensure your JST is submitted to TESU on your behalf.

    2 Certain graduate programs may also require you to submit additional documentation.

  2. Evaluation and Advisement Once all transcripts and licenses are received by TESU, your evaluation will be completed within approximately 5 business days. You will be notified via email when it is available to view in your Online Student Services account.

    When your evaluation is complete, schedule an appointment with your Enrollment Counselor to review your next steps.
