Veterans Information

If you are eligible for a GI Bill benefit,  you should provide the Student Records and Financial Services office with a copy of your Certificate of Eligibility or Statement of Benefits.  An enrollment certification will be submitted to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs after you provide either of these documents and register for classes.  If you have not applied for your GI Bill benefit you should apply on the VA.gov website. If you do not have web access, you can contact the U.S. Dept. of Veterans Affairs at 888-442-4551 for a paper application or complete the application at a VA regional office.

The following procedures to monitor attendance have been approved by the State Education Department Bureau of Veterans’ Education:

  • Veterans are required to attend classes in order to receive educational benefits.
  • Veterans receiving benefits must complete the VA School Certification form each semester they wish to be certified for benefits. Furthermore, veterans must contact the certifying official in the Student Records and Financial Services Office to ensure paperwork is properly completed whenever they add or drop a course, change their major, withdraw from the college, and/or are enrolled in courses that have nonpunitive grades ("S" or "U").
