11. 11 Navy TA Requirements  Navy has focused Sailor use of TA through policy changes and management controls: Pass most recent Physical Fitness Assessment Pass most recent rating exam Not in a Duty Under Instruction status Recommended for promotion No Non-Judicial Punishment in last six months Allowing TA funding for only one degree at each level No funding for Continuing Education Units Approved degree plan prior to TA authorization  Elimination of funding for non-academic certificates Elimination of funding for clock hours Sailors must serve one year at their first permanent duty station

12. 12 Impact of Requirements  “Great Sailor First” Require acclimation to Navy culture Successful in their career equates to successful students  Sailor more degree-focused Take courses at a more appropriate time in their career Less likely to change institutions  Improved course completion rates In FY09 the completion rate ~ 83% In FY11 the completion rate increased to ~ 92%  TA viewed as an earned benefit not entitlement

13. Future of Voluntary Education  FY12 Policy Changes DoD MOU No doctoral degrees Fees limited to $30 per credit hour Reimbursement to Navy for unsuccessful completion. A successful completion is considered a:  “D” or better for undergraduate work  “C” or better for graduate work  Virtual Education Center  Does degree advance Sailor’s career? What’s in it for both Sailor and Navy? Are we meeting needs of Sailor? How can we deliver education more efficiently? And effectively? 13
