WebTA Steps

Step One - Assessment Test

There are five options to meeting this requirement.

• If a Marines GT score is 100 or above, the assessment requirement is waived. Our office can view a Marine’s GT score through the webTA portal, so no paperwork has to be submitted for the waiver.
• If a Marine has proof of prior college with grades of C or better in college-level math and English courses, provide a copy of your transcript.
• Complete the miniTABE test (with a grade of 10.2 or higher in both math and English) at the Coastal Carolina Community College’s Learning Lab in the Camp Lejeune or MCAS New River Education Centers. Please verify the lab hours and staffing before coming in to take the test.
