This is NOT A PAYMENT, it is a request for additional time to pay. Army TA students may request a Payment Deferment to secure courses through payment deadlines. TA will be applied to the student account when received from the Army.

Active Duty members can utilize their GI Bill™ benefits for tuition purposes. Service members must apply directly to VA at VETS.GOV. We recommend calling the VA prior to using VA benefits at 1-888-442-4551.
As a last resort, all students may opt to pay for their courses through their student account in ACES by credit/debit card or by electronic check.

Please check with your college Financial Aid Office if you have questions. TA received after self-payments, will be applied to the student account and refunded to the student. Pay My Tuition.
