Veterans Information
(602.285.7504)
www.phoenixcollege.edu/veterans
The Veterans Service Office is located in the Admissions and
Records Building and offers all veterans assistance with educational
benefits, enrollment and transcript information, tutorial assistance,
referral for personal, career and academic counseling and other
miscellaneous veterans information.
The Phoenix College Veteran’s Services Office has been approved to
certify eligible veterans for educational benefits. The following
information is provided to assist the student in understanding
Department of Veteran’s Affairs certification requirements.
The student must notify the VA office each semester of enrollment if
planning to use VA benefits.
If you are concurrently enrolled in more than one institution while
attending Phoenix College, you must notify the Veteran’s Services
Office at EACH school in order to ensure the correct payment of
benefits.
If you are using your educational benefits for the first time at Phoenix
College, it usually takes eight to ten weeks to receive your first
educational benefit check. Veterans wishing to receive advance pay
should apply with the Veteran’s Services Office at least 45 days prior
to the first day of classes. Continuing students are not eligible for
advanced pay. Tuition deferments may be available for veterans/
dependents using educational benefits.
The VA will pay for courses that do not meet for the entire term
(dynamic dating courses), but funding is only for the duration of the
class. The payment of benefits may change as dynamic dating
courses begin or end. Any questions regarding dynamic dating
courses should be referred to the Veteran’s Services Office.
Every veteran is responsible for notifying the Veteran’s Services
Office of any change in his/her schedule during the drop/add period
and throughout the term in order to ensure appropriate funding based
on the student’s enrollment.
VA regulations state that veterans who drop classes after the drop/
add period may be liable for overpayment back to the beginning of
the term. Veterans who receive a grade of "Z" (no credit), "W"
(withdrawal), or "Y" (withdrawal failing) may be responsible for
repayment of funds.
VA regulations require the college to have official copies of transcripts
from every college/university attended if the veteran is applying for
educational benefits. All transcripts must be requested by the
student and should be sent directly to the Admissions and Records
Office at Phoenix College, 1202 W. Thomas Rd., Phoenix, AZ
85013.
