For assistance applying to CSU through the Air Force Portal, please contact or call (888) 394-5738.


Please note that AFTA is not available for post-master's degree coursework or degrees and is not authorized for courses leading to a lateral or lower level degree than you already possess.

An airman will not be eligible for AFTA if:

  • You are missing grades over 60 days from a course end date.
  • You have suspense dates that have expired
  • You are missing personal data in your education record.
  • You are requesting AFTA for courses that begin more than 30 days prior to the request date.
  • You are requesting AFTA for courses that have already began.
  • You are requesting AFTA for lower level courses from the highest education degree you hold.
  • You have no degree plan in your record.



While you are no longer required to obtain your supervisor's signature on your AFTA form, you are expected to discuss your schedule with him/her to ensure participation and support.
