What Is the Student Agreement?
The Student Agreement is essentially a personalized degree map. The Agreement clearly delineates the specific credit awarded for all prior learning (including military training and experience) and remaining credits required for degree completion. The home institution will prepare a Student Agreement by the end date of a student’s second course through GoArmyEd.
How to Read the Student Agreement
A Student Agreement must be on file with GoArmyEd by the time a student completes his second course in the program, or he is placed on administrative hold.
The Student Agreement is presented in table format with numerous rows and columns. The rows list courses required to complete a degree, while the columns list the different ways of earning credits. The column headings and related definitions are as follows:
– RES – Credits taken in residence of home institution
– TRANS – Credits taken at a different school
- Svc School – Military training
- MOS – Military experience
- CLEP, DSST, ECE – Standardized exams that can be used for credit
- Hrs Needed – Final credits required for the degree
Student Agreement Timeframe/Checking Status
The Student Agreement creation process for students does not begin until after he or she registers for a course via the GoArmyEd portal.
Graduate students cannot take their first course until the Agreement is in place. Contact the school directly to check the status of Student Agreements. They may still require transcripts or other information. If TROY has submitted the Agreement to be posted but it is not visible in the GoArmyEd portal, the student should submit a case to the eArmyU Help Desk to verify when it will be posted.
