Step 1: Select Coastline as your GEM institution

Designate Coastline as your GEM institution by initiating a Course Completion Package with us at the Air Force Virtual Education Center (AFVEC) https://www.my.af.mil/faf/FAF/fafHome.jsp

Step 2: Apply to Coastline

All new students must apply to Coastline. Students who have had a break in enrollment for 2 semesters or more must re-apply.

• Prior to applying, you may wish to take a couple of moments to review the CCCApply Tutorial (wmv) that provides some important and helpful tips for completion of the application.
• Within the application, you will be asked to specify your intended major. If your exact major is not included among the list of majors, you may select "Military Occupation - Other" to indicate your pursuit of a military-related degree.
• IMPORTANT: Enter the code MIL1 on the Supplemental page of the online application which is your 4-digit program admission designator.
• New Students receive notification about their MyCCC account upon acceptance of their application. This normally takes approximately 2-3 business days from the date the application is submitted.

Apply Now. Applications must be submitted at least 3 business days prior to the registration deadline.

All Students
A schedule of available classes can be found at our Courses Page and within the Air Force Virtual Education Center (AFVEC) .

Students can register for courses through Coastline at any time during the registration window. Due to Air Combat Command (ACC) regulations, Airmen will have to wait until 45 days prior to the start of a class to add the intended course into their GEM plan in the AFVEC. After adding courses into their GEM plan, Airmen will be prompted to apply for TA..

Step 4: Apply for and submit Tuition Assistance authorization

• Tuition Assistance (TA) applications may be submitted online through your GEM plan, 45 days prior to the start of class, using the Air Force Virtual Education Center (AFVEC)
• Prior to applying for Tuition Assistance, you may wish to take a couple of moments to review our AFVEC GEM Tuition Assistance Tutorial that provides some important and helpful tips for completion of the application.
• Instructions for TA submission:
  1. Make sure the course name/number on your TA Authorization matches the course name/number on your GEM Course Completion Plan in AFVEC.
  2. Provide us a copy of your TA Authorization before the posted deadlines (see Academic Calendar). A copy of your TA Application is not an acceptable form of payment.
  • Fax your TA Authorization Form to (714) 241-6270 or scan and email to milreg@coastline.edu
3. Once we receive and process your TA, your account balance in MyCCC will adjust accordingly (processing can take up to 3 business days).
   • Students will be automatically dropped from their courses for non-payment if TA is not received by the posted deadlines.
