Credits transfer across institutions, enabling Soldiers quickly and conveniently to progress towards their educational goals.
Soldiers can research degrees, apply for admission, submit assignments, access funding for courses, register for classes with the eArmyU education partners, and assess their progress from a single integrated Web site.
