CORRESPONDENCE COURSES

NATURE AND PURPOSE. Correspondence courses are designed to develop management skills in individuals with current or potential assignments to positions of responsibility in the DOD logistics system. Correspondence courses are listed in the appendices and are managed by the Army Institute for Professional Development (AIPD), ATRRS School Code 553.

ELIGIBILITY. U.S. Active, Reserve and National Guard officers, warrant officers, and enlisted personnel, as well as DOD civilian employees, are eligible to enroll in courses. Non-U.S. citizens employed by DOD and foreign military are eligible but must contact AIPD for special enrollment procedures.

ENROLLMENT PREREQUISITES. Prerequisites are listed by course in the alphabetical course listing of this catalog and in DA Pamphlet 350-59, Army Correspondence Course Catalog. If you are from a non-DOD federal agency or private industry, you must attach a check or money order to your application and send it to COMMANDANT, US ARMY LOGISTICS MANAGEMENT COLLEGE, ATTN ATCL RQA, 2401 QUARTERS ROAD, FT LEE VA 23801-1705. Payment should be made to the Treasurer of the United States. The current charge is $40. per equivalent day and is subject to change. Equivalent day is defined as: credit hours per subcourse divided by 8 hrs = equivalent day (e.g., 100 credit hours / 8 = 13.75 x $40. = $550. tuition). The ALMC budget officer can be reached at DSN 539-4105 or (804) 765-4109.

RECOMMENDED COLLEGE CREDIT. The American Council on Education (ACE) has examined ALMC correspondence courses and has recommended undergraduate and graduate-level credit which may be granted by civilian educational institutions. When applicable, the number of recommended semester hours of credit is given under the course description as well as Appendix A. A transcript of courses completed will be forwarded to civilian institutions at the student’s request.
