MCCS, Camp Lejeune

This assessment tests Marines to ensure that they are ready to sit in college-level math and English courses. You are required to complete the online OASC Peterson’s Assessment. If you successfully complete this assessment you will be authorized to take two classes this term and for every term thereafter. If there are any deficiencies in your OASC pre- or post-test you still may be limited to one course per term until the deficiency has been corrected.

1. If you have already completed a placement test for your specific college or university you plan to attend, please provide a copy of the results/scores so that you can waive the Peterson’s Assessment.

2. When you complete the Peterson’s Assessment, you will have to provide a copy of your pre-test scores to our office. If you score 80% or above then you are clear to use military TA; if you score less than 80% you will have to complete the necessary lessons on Peterson’s and then take the post-test. You will have to provide a copy of both your pre-test and post-test scores to our office.

COMPLETE COUNSELING FORM >>

In order to expedite grade receipt, we are requesting that each student complete a statement allowing Education Assistance to speak with their school and receive grades for courses that were completed using military tuition assistance. This form will stay in effect until it is revoked in writing through our office. This is a voluntary form. If you elect not to sign this form giving our office this permission, please let us know via email message. Please fill in the school name in the top paragraph then complete the bottom section and sign. Click title to open.

COMPLETE FERPA STATEMENT >>

Complete an application for tuition assistance (LLN MCBLEJ 1056/4). The form must be typed. Be advised that this is only a request for TA, not the actual authorization form! If courses have different start and end dates than they must be on separate forms. The signature requirement is below:

• E-5 and Below = SNCOIC, OIC, and CO
• E-6 and Above (Enlisted) = OIC and CO
• Officers = CO only

Once the request has been processed in the TA system, a TA Authorization Form will be generated and signed by the Education Specialist. The form will be sent to you for a final review and signature. Once signed, you will send one back to us to complete the process and one to your school so they can bill the government. It is your responsibility to get this form to the school!

FILL OUT TA REQUEST FORM >>

This must be obtained from the student’s college or university. The Statement of Fees (SOF) is a document or series of documents that verifies the term dates, course information, and course cost. Students frequently obtain their SOF by downloading it from their school’s online account, the school’s website, or in an email from their academic advisor or financial aid representative. A current SOF must accompany each TA request.

This must also be obtained from the student’s college or university. A curriculum (degree plan) is a complete list of courses required for a specific degree. Students obtain their curriculum in much the same way as the SOF. A copy of the curriculum for the degree the student is seeking must be sent to our office the first time you request TA. The document is utilized to verify that the courses the student is requesting will work towards their degree. If a student changes his/her degree or school, a new curriculum is needed.
