The Army Credentialing and Continuing Education Services for Soldiers (ACCESS), under the Vice Provost for Learning Systems, Army University, is formerly referred to as the Army Continuing Education Division (ACED). ACCESS promotes lifelong learning and sharpens the competitive edge of the Army now and for the Future Force. The program helps us to achieve the Army's goal of retaining quality soldiers, enhancing their career professional progression, increasing the combat readiness of the Army, and eventually assisting soldiers in their transition from the Army into successful civilian careers. The program supports the leader development imperatives of the Army Leader Development Strategy and supports Army Strategic Priorities.

Army Reserve retirees are not eligible for ACCESS programs and services.
