Registration
Only when students have been admitted to the University
will they be eligible to register for courses.
Only
those courses within the student’s program of study are
eligible to count toward veterans’ benefits.
Program Selection
Veterans receiving educational benefits may select any
program leading to a degree offered at the University of
Richmond upon approval from the Veterans Services Office.
Only one program may be pursued under certification for
benefits. If the veteran decides to major in two programs
at the same time, only one will be certified. The VA will
not pay for courses that were taken under an unapproved
program after the approved program is completed.
Veterans
may receive VA benefits for a second degree and for courses
taken after completion of a first degree.
Veterans
may change a program of study and continue to receive
benefits if the new program is approved by Veterans Affairs.
Veterans Education Benefits
After the admission process is complete and the student
has registered for courses, it is necessary to submit the
following paperwork to the Veterans Affairs Certifying
Official in the Registrar’s Office at the University of
Richmond:
Enrollment certifications are processed approximately one
week before the start of classes each semester. If at any
time the student’s initial enrollment changes, it is his or
her responsibility to contact the school certifying official
to avoid payment problems.
