Military Education Benefits
Our Military/Veteran/Family Member Program Facilitator will assist you with your paperwork
to obtain your GI Bill® benefits and answer any questions you may have in regards
to obtaining your GI Bill®/VA education benefits.
Our Certifying Official will need a copy of your Member 4 DD214 and a confirmation
page from your GI Bill® application, and will notify the Department of Veterans Affairs
of your enrollment at the school.
A certificate of eligibility from the Department of Veterans Affairs will arrive in
the mail within four to six weeks, please bring a copy of this certificate to the
Certifying Official to be placed in your record. Our Certifying Officials reports
your attendance and grades.
You will be given a “Military/Veteran Student Handbook” from our Certifying Official,
please read through the handbook carefully. As a student using the GI Bill®, there
are guidelines you will need to know. Please be aware of the drop dates of classes
for the semester, if you were to drop a class after the drop date and the Department
of Veteran Affairs has already paid your tuition, you will receive a debt letter informing
you of an overpayment. If the tuition has not been paid by the Department of Veterans
Affairs at the time of your withdrawal, you will incur a debt with the college. You
should notify our Military/Veteran/Family Member Program Facilitator or School Certifying
Official of any changes you make to your schedule.
It is not necessary for you to apply every semester for your GI Bill®; when our Certifying
Official receives your registration for the semester, it will be reported to the Department
of Veterans Affairs.
If you are using Military Tuition Assistance, you will need to apply each semester.
Please see the Military/Veteran Student Affairs Facilitator for assistance.
