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.

Per DoD regulation, all first-time Tuition Assistance applicants must complete the Higher Education Preparation Course hosted on JKO in order to be eligible for military tuition assistance. This course includes choosing a career goal, determining an educational path to completing that goal, factors to consider when choosing an institute of higher education, and tuition assistance and other forms of funding. The expected outcome is to create a personal education folder, which can be beneficial when meeting with an education counselor.

Action Item: Go to https://JKOdirect.jten.mil and select HEP US001 from the course catalog. Once you complete the course, save a copy of your certificate and upload it into your webTA portal

Step Two - 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.
• Complete a pre-test assessment test (with a grade of 80% or higher in math and English) on the Peterson’s Academic Skills Training website under the OASC section. All participants must register to use the site. (https://dantes.petersons.com).
• Elect to not complete an assessment and be limited to one course at a time until successful completion of twelve (12) semester hours.

Action Item: Upload the documentation into your webTA portal that correlates to one of the five options listed above.

Step Three - Notify the Education Office of Progress

Action Item: To ensure your webTA portal is updated and clear for TA submission, please send an email to Lejeune-NewRiverEducation@usmc-mccs.org to let us know you have uploaded the necessary TA eligibility documentation. If you have issues uploading the documentation, please attach it to your email. Include your Name, EDIPI number, and a brief note summarizing what you have completed in the body of the email.

Step Four - Review webTA Instruction Flyer

Review the webTA Instruction Sheet for details of the entire process. You will be required to upload the two documents below.

Degree Plan/Curriculum. This is a complete list of all the courses required for a degree. This document is required the first time military TA is used; it must be updated once an official evaluation is completed by the college/university.

Statement of Fees. This is a Camp Lejeune-New River requirement. This documentation should show the term start and end dates, course information, and course cost. Our office uses this documentation to verify that everything on your request is correct before we authorize the funding for your TA.
