Air Force Reserve Deferred Payment Option

  Watch brief videos with answers to your questions on Financial Aid TV.

Air Force Reserve students eligible for TA benefits can authorize a delayed personal credit card authorization in lieu of up-front tuition payment using the following procedures.

Students should apply for admission, complete orientation and register for classes as instructed on the APUS Web site and choose "Employee Voucher Program" under the employer Payment Options as the desired payment method. Note: Students do not need to send an Employee Voucher to APUS.

Students should contact their Base or Unit Education Center to receive their Authority for Tuition Assistance (AFRC Form27). In addition, new students should contact the Admissions department at info@apus.edu for an Air Force Reserve Credit Card Authorization Form. Both forms must be completed and faxed to Student Accounts at 304-724-3794 prior to the start date for each course in order to be granted access to the classroom.

Once we receive all of the required documents and they have been validated, your "Voucher" hold will be lifted. At that time you will receive an auto e-mail notifying you that we received your Voucher. This means that you will have access to your classroom when class starts.

Students will not receive TA reimbursement from AFRES for at least eight weeks, and APUS will not charge the credit card on file until after eight weeks has passed. Please note that if a student withdraws from a course, the credit card on file will be charged immediately for the prorated tuition.

To change payment method, update credit card information, or change the credit card on file, students should contact Student Accounts at stuaccounts@apus.edu. Note: If the credit card on file for deferred payment is declined, the student will be prohibited from using the deferred payment option for future courses.
