Applying for G.I. Bill Benefits
To continuing and prospective V.A. students:

To expedite the delivery of service provided by the Admissions & Records Office, it is your responsibility to comply with the following:

  • Have all official transcripts from other colleges on file. Until such time, you will be certified for V.A. benefits for One Semester Only.
  • Pay all fees due at the time they occur; this includes paying for books.
  • See the VA counselor every semester prior to registering for new classes and:
    • Complete the "Veteran Program Form".
    • Complete the "Veteran Attendance Tracking Authorization Form".
    • Complete / Review Educational Plan and Academic Progress / Standing with counselor.
  • Be certain to immediately report all dropped or added classes or report any mitigating circumstances resulting in you dropping your classes to the veteran's clerk in the Admissions Office. Any dropped class without a valid reason could cause an overpayment that you would be obligated to repay. Any added class could change your entitlement.

If you have earned a college degree or have completed close to 50 Units, you will be limited as to what you can take and the claim benefits allowed.

You may not claim benefits for courses that have been previously completed successfully. A repeated course would result in an overpayment that would have to be repaid by you; regardless of when or where you completed it the first time. A course is considered completed if it has a letter grade of A, B, C, D, or CR.

Important for Credit / No Credit: If you request Credit / No Credit instead of a letter grade, be sure that you earn the Credit. Should you receive a No Credit (NC), it may incur an overpayment that will have to be repaid. Units from Credit / No Credit courses will apply toward graduation, but will not be included in the grade point average (GPA).

You may be eligible to claim benefits for classes taken through open-circuit television or online without concurrent enrollment in an on-campus class. Training time will be based upon the number of credit hours / units.

If you receive an incomplete grade, remember that it means just that -- an incomplete course. Do not try to re-enroll in that class in a subsequent semester. You have one year in which to "complete" the course with the instructor and receive a letter grade.
