Tuition Assistance
Using Tuition Assistance
Please visit our UCCS Ft Carson Office for TA assistance as we migrate to the new ArmyIgnitED system. The instructions below will be updated as soon as possible.
Please note that all TA requests MUST be approved before the class start date.
To start you will need to set up your GoArmyEd account and ensure your account is free of holds. Within GAE set your home school to UCCS and enter your degree plan. (If you are having troubles with your GAE account speak with an Army education counselor)
Submit your Military Certification Form (available at the Fort Carson Education Center) to our UCCS Fort Carson office or the UCCS Records Office on campus. This ensures you receive the in-state tuition rate.
Go to the College Opportunity Fund website and register for the COF stipend. Once registered visit your myUCCS Portal and authorize COF. (Detailed instructions here)
Once you have registered for classes and your bill has become available:
- Drop by our UCCS office on Fort Carson or contact us at ftcarson@uccs.edu or 719-526-8066 and request a degree plan, cost verification, and course schedule upload to your GAE account.
- Request TA (instructions in the steps below)
