Maintain Your Eligibility

You are allowed to take only courses required under the selected program of study, approved electives, and prerequisite courses. If you intend to transfer, meet with the Veterans Certifying Official to select the program of study and courses that meet your transfer goals.

Notify the Veterans Certifying Official immediately if you add, drop, or withdraw from any classes. You may be required to pay back portions of their benefits if they drop a course, withdraw, or receive a non punitive grade. It is the student’s responsibility to verify information certified to the VA and repay any overpayment.

If you decide to change your major/program of study, or transfers from one school to another, you should complete Form 22-1995 (or Form 22-5495 for dependents) from the VA website.

Active duty

If you are called to active duty during the semester, contact the Registrar’s Office for withdrawal procedures. If you are receiving financial aid, contact the Financial Aid Office. If you are receiving veteran’s benefits, contact the Veterans Certifying Official.

Short-term leave

If you will miss classes for short term-military leave or military training exercises, contact your instructors as soon as you become aware of this so that appropriate accommodations can be made.

If you fail a course or receive a grade below degree requirements, you may repeat the same course and receive VA educational benefits. All other duplications can NOT be certified.
