Military Tuition Discount

 

Central Michigan University began its Off-Campus Programs in 1972 at military installations in Michigan, Ohio, and Hawaii. Our connection to the military has remained strong over the years. Today CMU has centers at over 20 locations throughout the United States and online learning options to serve even more military students.

To make continuing education affordable for our service men and women, Central Michigan University is dedicated to keeping our tuition rates under the current military tuition assistance cap. For most military personnel, this means no out-of-pocket tuition expenses or reimbursement for tuition paid.

Army Tuition Assistance

Active duty Army students using tuition assistance to enroll in CMU courses must use the GoArmyEd system at www.GoArmyEd.com.

If you need to make a change to your schedule or register after the normal registration period, you should get in touch with your CMU center staff. They will help you make the adjustments.

All active duty Army students using tuition assistance must go through the GoArmyEd portal at www.GoArmyEd.com to register for CMU courses. For more information, go to CMU and GoArmyEd.

The military discount is adjusted on your account after registration; however, occasionally there is a delay. If you do not receive your adjustment on your statement, you should contact your center immediately. The center staff will communicate with accounting services for you and see that the adjustment is made.
