Veterans Student Responsibilities

Important Information for VA Education Benefits

Program of Study

VA will only pay for courses required for your program of study. Courses will be tracked, and only required courses will be certified.

Enrollment Requirements

Important: You must contact the VA Certifying Official each term that you wish to receive benefits. You will not automatically be certified.

Changing Your Schedule

Notify the VA Certifying Official immediately if you adjust your schedule (drop, add, or withdraw). When you reduce the number of credits you are enrolled in, the VA will adjust your benefits and pay you at a lower rate.

Changing Your Major

You will need to submit the appropriate VA form to the Registrar’s Office each time you change your major.

Monthly Enrollment Verification

To receive payment, you must verify your enrollment at the end of each month. Verification can be completed in one of the following ways:

Course Repeat Policy

You cannot be paid for a course in which you previously received a passing grade (D or better), unless a higher grade is required for your major or as a prerequisite for another required course.

Short-Term Courses

Benefits for courses that do not meet for the entire term will be paid only for the days that the class meets.
