Service members in the Active Army, Army Reserve and Army National Guard request tuition assistance through the GoArmyEd system (www.GoArmyEd.com).   As a general rule, soldiers using GoArmyEd DO NOT REGISTER for classes through normal HCC procedures.  Instead registration and tuition assistance is requested through GoArmyEd.  When HCC received a daily download from GoArmyEd, the College enrolls the student in the requested classes, credits tuition assistance, and sends a confirming email to the soldier’s official military email account.  If the requested class is not available or is not appropriate for the student’s degree plan, the College rejects the registration request and sends an email to that effect to the student’s official  military email account. 

The GoArmyEd system only allows soldiers to register for classes eight weeks or less before the start date of the class.  Soldiers using GoArmyEd may encounter a situation when early registration is required in order to “hold” a registration for a popular class (e.g.,  BIO 203, Anatomy and Physiology I).  In this situation, the soldier should register for the classes using normal HCC procedures and then call the HCC office at Aberdeen Proving Ground at 410-272-2338.  The College will then hold your classes without payment until you reach the window during which you can request tuition assistance through GoArmyEd.

For assistance with the GOARMYED system, please call the HCC Office at Aberdeen Proving Ground at 410-272-2338.

Tuition Assistance for Navy, Marine Crops, Air Force and Coast Guard

Members of the Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force and Coast Guard should contact the official education office of their branch of service for instructions for requesting tuition assistance.  If unsure who to contact, check with your unit retention noncommissioned officer who should be able to direct you to the appropriate office.  Once your tuition assistance form has been approved, take the form to the Cashiers’ Office in the Student Center.  You will be credited for the amount of tuition assistance authorized and you will be able to see this credit on OWLNET under the All About Me tab.  While services pay for tuition and required laboratory fees, not all pay the HCC student fee.  If this fee is not authorized on your tuition assistance form, you will be responsible for paying this amount.  Questions concerning Navy, Marine, Air Force and Coast Guard tuition assistance can also be referred to the HCC Office at Aberdeen Proving Ground at 410-272-2338.

NOTE for all using military tuition assistance:  Service members sometimes experience delays in processing requests for tuition assistance.   If you know that your bill is due before you expect to receive your tuition assistance authorization, you can call the HCC office at Aberdeen Proving Ground at 410-272-2338 and request that the College hold your classes without payment while the form is processed.  Because the college is holding your classes without payment, you will not be dropped for nonpayment.  If you decide you do not want the classes for which you are registered, it is YOUR responsibility to drop the classes.
