Army School Support and Vantage Point Consulting, Inc., would like to introduce a new tool that has been designed to assist you with creating your ArmyIgnitED files to “simplify” your working lives. TASimplifiED.support is currently live and available for you to check out. This tool will help you build your degree program and course enrollment files through a direct page interface where you can type in your data so that it can then generate your .csv files for you.

We are holding weekly 30-minute training sessions for this tool, starting 18 November 2021 at 3PM Eastern Time. Check out the Events link in Mighty Networks to see all of the sessions so that you can pick which one you want to RSVP.

We have also created an 8-minute training video along with a companion step-by-step instruction document, which are also now available to you in Mighty Networks under Resources > Training Videos > How to Use TASimplifiED.

The Army School Support team transitioned from the Vantage Point, Inc., website to a Mighty Networks (MN) community setting.  This is a dynamic and user-friendly networking platform designed to better support our EIs with their ArmyIgnitED activities.

This platform is also 100% free to all users. However, it is behind a login to uphold the security of the ArmyIgnitED system. The Army School Support MN community will offer EIs access to important Resources, which will include: Topics, How to Training videos, Helpful Tips, and HQ ACCESS ArmyIgnitED messaged to schools.

We have created the invite with your name and your school’s OPEID.  Please do not edit your name. When you join MN, please update your profile and add your school’s full name to your last name. We would like to know which school you are working with to assist quicker in a response.

IMPORTANT: Please do not unsubscribe to MN as this will be the platform where we will post important ArmyIgnitED updates once this Vantage Point, Inc., page is discontinued.

Effective immediately, Exception to Policy (ETP) list (spreadsheets or email) previously sent to usarmy.knox.hrc.mbx.tagd-aces@mail.mil, which were used for accountability purposes will no longer be required.  Thank you for your assistance with this effort. We ask that you focus your efforts on uploading your ETP / Course Enrollment files into ArmyIgnitED to allow us to pay your invoices.  

Please review your invoice queue and add the Tuition Assistance Requests (TARs) in your invoice queue to your invoices and submit in ArmyIgnitED so ACCESS can make payments. 

‍

Thank you for your continued support of the Army Tuition Assistance (TA) program. To facilitate the payment of TA to schools, we developed a multi-pronged plan so we can pay schools as expeditiously as possible.
For schools that can successfully upload course enrollment files into ArmyIgnitED: please upload all unpaid TA enrollments with course start dates back to 1 January 2021. This includes TA requests that were submitted in GoArmyEd and all Exception to Policy (ETP) TA courses.
For schools that are unable to upload course enrollment files into ArmyIgnitED: we will process your GoArmyEd TA enrollments and ETP payments manually by order of course start date (oldest to newest).
For TA enrollments with start dates prior to 1 January 2021, we will process these TA payments manually for all schools.
We will be pulling courses with past start dates into ArmyIgnitED in four draws.
Draw #1 occurred 26 July 2021.
Draw #2 occurred 30 August 2021.
Draw #3 occurred 14 November 2021.
Draw #4 is TBD.
If for any reason some courses do not upload correctly into ArmyIgnitED during a draw, they may be resubmitted for the next Draw. All ETP enrollments should be submitted into ArmyIgnitED by the day prior to a Draw.
All unpaid TA enrollments should be submitted to ArmyIgnitED using the course enrollment files. Soldiers need an established Education Path for course enrollments to be accepted into ArmyIgnitED, so please continue to process Soldiers’ Education Paths at your schools.
