VETERANS BENEFITS

Students eligible to receive educational benefits under Veterans Readjustment Acts and other public laws for veterans, active servicemen, children, widows, or wives of disabled veterans must submit an application to the Veterans Administration prior to registration to insure maximum benefits.

Certificates of eligibility (1999) must be presented to the VA Coordinator in the Office of the University Registrar. Once established, claims for benefits must be renewed in the Office of the University Registrar each Fall. Claims for benefits during the summer session must be requested each session by the student. VA checks are sent directly to the student.

Those receiving VA benefits are reminded that the Veterans Administration requires both the University and the person receiving benefits to notify the VA promptly if there is a change in load. In addition, students are expected to progress satisfactorily toward the educational objective for which they have been approved by the VA. The University must report to the VA instances of poor academic performance, courses taken which do not count toward the approved program, audited courses, repeated courses, and/or excessive absences or withdrawals from courses. Such instances may result in reduction or loss of benefits. For further information, please contact the VA Coordinator in the Office of the University Registrar.
