Advanced pay – Available upon request. In order to receive advance pay, you must apply at least 30 days before the first day of classes.
Tutoring – Tutoring is available, if needed, up to $600.00. If you need tutoring, please come to the Veteran Services Office to pick up the appropriate forms.
"U" Grades - The VA will not credit a course toward your enrollment status if the final grade is a "U". This can lead to an overpayment situation at the end of a semester.
"I" Grades – If an "I" grade is not made up within one year, the VA will deduct those credits from your enrollment status for that term and an overpayment situation may result.
Dropping a Course – If you drop a course during the semester, the VA may consider the drop retroactive to the start of the semester/course. If this changes your enrollment status, an overpayment situation may occur. However, the VA will allow a student to drop up to a maximum of six credits one time only without having an overpayment situation occur.
Part- Term Courses – The VA will count part-term courses toward your enrollment status only while that course is actually in session.
Audited Courses – You cannot be certified/draw benefits for an audited course.
Repeating a Course – The VA will not pay for and we cannot certify you for a repeat of a course if the original grade was a "D" unless the course is specifically required. If this requirement is not listed in the catalog, we will require a letter from your department/advisor verifying this requirement. (We have form letters available for this purpose.) THE VA WILL NOT PAY FOR YOU TO REPEAT A "D" GRADE OR HIGHER, IN ORDER TO RAISE YOUR GPA.
Independent Study – During a regular semester independent study can be counted toward your enrollment status. (It is best to check with us on this as other criteria also apply.) Correspondence classes can only be certified for a 4-month period.
Unsatisfactory Progress – You must maintain satisfactory progress in order to continue receiving your benefits. The VA will terminate your benefits when probationary status continues past two semesters or when you are dismissed. At this time, reinstatement by the University is all that is required for us to recertify you for benefits.
Work-Study – Students under all chapters are eligible to apply for VA work-study positions. You must be enrolled at least ¾ time and drawing your benefits.
Less Then Half Time – Veterans and service persons training at less than half time will be paid only tuition and fees for the entire term.
Miscellaneous – Classes with hours by arrangement, internship, etc. may all require additional information from your department before we can complete the certification process. We have forms available for this purpose.
