WebTA Steps

Step One - Higher Education Prep Course

Per MarAdmin 093/16, the Higher Education Prep Course (HEP) replaces the previous College 101 Orientation. The HEP is DoD mandated online training for all first-time TA users. When the training is complete, upload a copy of the certificate to your webTA account using the instruction flyer in Step 5.

Step Two - Assessment Test

Prospective TA users have five options to complete the assessment requirement for the Camp Lejeune and MCAS New River education offices.

• Request a waiver by providing documentation of a GT score higher than 99;
• Show proof of prior college with grades of C or better in college-level math and English courses;
• Provide documentation of ACT (minimum score of 23 on test completed within the past 5 years) or SAT (minimum score of Verbal, 500/Writing, 500/Math, 500 on test completed within the past 5 years) scores;
• Complete the 90 minute miniTABE Test at the Camp Lejeune or New River Learning Lab and submit scores to the Education Office; or
• Complete the blue, OASC online assessment at Peterson’s Online. Pre-assessment scores of 80% or above in each section are acceptable. If pre-assessment scores do not meet the minimum requirement, the website will generate lessons based on questions missed on the pre-assessment. After completing the lessons, a post-assessment provides a second opportunity to score at least 80% in each section. Print screen your results, paste them into a Word document and upload the file to your webTA account. See the webTA instruction flyer in Step 4.

Step Three - Notify the Education Office of Progress

To ensure your webTA account is updated, please send a message to LejeuneTuitionAssistance@usmc-mccs.org with the following information:

• Rank and Full Name
• Provide EDIPI Number
• Unit
• Location (City, State, Country)
• Summary of completed steps

Step Four - Review webTA Instruction Flyer

Review the webTA instruction flyer for details of the entire process. Note the documents that should accompany each TA application:

Degree Plan/Curriculum. A complete list of all the courses required for your degree. This document should be updated after every 3-4 completed classes.

Statement of Fees. Document that shows the term start and end dates, course information, and course cost. This is required with each TA application unless attending a resident school.

Step Five - Documents to Upload

Use the student webTA portal and the webTA Instruction Flyer in Step 5 to apply for tuition assistance. A webTA User's Guide and a Command Approver User’s Guide are available if you would like a screen-by-screen set of instructions.
