Veteran's Affairs

Application Requirements:
There are six different chapters of eligibility. Make sure you are using the correct application to apply for Veterans Administration (VA) benefits. Vets who are applying for the first time must contact the VA Office for specific information regarding documents needed for each chapter. Continuing students must submit their semester's schedules at the VA Office.

Change In Enrollment:
Students must notify the VA Office when adding or dropping classes during the semester. Change in enrollment status affects the amount of VA benefits earned, which could result in overpayment if changes are not reported. Any overpayments that result from student's failure to report such change in enrollment shall become student's responsibility.

Last Date of Attendance:
The Veteran student's "last date of attendance" must be indicated in the Instructor Report of Non-Attendance form and returned to our office within one week in order to comply with the 21-day reporting rule required by the VA. Failure to comply could result in overpayment of veterans benefits and would be an institutional financial liability to the Department of Veterans Affairs.

Incomplete Grades:
Students who receive an "Incomplete" must complete that course and obtain a letter grade within one year. VA benefits received by students who did not have completed grades will be considered overpaid. This could be the liability of the student or the institution depending on where the fault lies.
