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 or to newrivereducation@usmc.mil with the following information:

• Rank and Full Name
• Last 4 of SSN
• Unit
• Location (City, State, Country)
• Summary of completed steps

Step Four - College Information Session

A voluntary, but highly encouraged, information session is offered to all active duty personnel. The session covers Camp Lejeune-New River TA policies and procedures, Marine Corps policies, and the webTA application process. These sessions are held aboard Camp Lejeune on the 2nd and 4th Friday of each month from 1000 to 1100. Registration is preferred.
