Veterans' Benefits
Veterans Educational Benefits are available to eligible, degree-seeking veterans. Each time veterans register, they must complete the necessary forms in the Registrar's Office in order to initiate or continue payment of benefits. Veterans should notify the Registrar's Office whenever a withdrawal or change in course load takes place. The Veterans Administration must be notified as soon as possible. Adjustments in training time and rate of pay become effective on the date students formally withdraw from courses. Therefore, timely reporting to the Registrar's Office of all withdrawals will decrease the possibility of overpayment.
Training time for VA educational purposes is as follows:
Credit Hours |
Status |
| 12 or more |
Full Time |
| 9 to 11 |
3/4-time |
| 6 to 8 |
1/2-time |
| 4 to 5 |
Less than 1/2-time and more than 1/4-time |
| 1 to 3 |
1/4-time |
Veterans enrolled less than half-time and eligible for Montgomery GI Bill Active Duty or DEA benefits will receive the cost of tuition, not to exceed the 1/2-time rate of payment. Graduate student requirements differ slightly.
Students eligible for VA educational allowance who do not increase their grade-point average to 2.0 after the first probationary period cannot receive further payment.
Veterans auditing courses cannot receive VA educational benefits for those courses audited.
Any inquiries concerning Veterans Educational Benefits should be addressed to the Registrar's Office.
