IF YOU PLAN TO USE TUITION ASSISTANCE (TA) FROM YOUR BRANCH OF SERVICE FOR FALL II 2026 AND HAVE NOT REQUESTED IT, YET TAKE ACTION NOW.

SPS Fall II 2026 runs October 17 - December 11, 2026.

TA request deadlines by branch:
• Army, Navy, Coast Guard: TODAY, Saturday, October 10
• Air Force, Marine Corps, Space Force: Friday, October 16

When you submit your TA request, search for the institutional start date of October 17, 2026, not the date of your first-class meeting. Please double-check every entry before submitting so UIW can invoice your TA under the DoW Memorandum of Understanding (MOU).

Need help? Registration for Fall II is still open. If you need to add or change a course, contact your SPS academic advisor or a UIW Military Education Coordinator at any of the three JBSA education centers.
