VETERANS AFFAIRS
UNIVERSITY REGULATIONS 81
Located in Administration 1-109, the ULM’s Office
of Veterans Affairs assists all veterans and dependents
in establishing eligibility to receive veterans’ education
benefits at ULM.
First-time applicants must submit an application for
benefits to the Regional Processing Office (RPO), which
is located in Muskogee, OK. A veteran can apply online
for benefits at the GI Bill website or via a paper application
that is available in the ULM Veterans Affairs office. After a
processing time of approximately 8-12 weeks, the veteran
will receive a letter stating his/her eligibility status. The
letter must be submitted to the ULM Veterans Affairs office
in order that the office may retain a copy. Additionally,
there are other required forms to be completed in the VA
office.
Transfer students who have used their benefits at
another institution must complete transfer forms 22-1995
(Request for Change of Program or Place of Training) or
22-5495 (Dependents’ Request for Change of Program or
Place of Training). Both forms can be obtained in the VA
office on campus.
All students are required to complete pre-enrollment
certification sheets for each semester/term for which they
are requesting payment.
It is the responsibility of the student to inform the
ULM VA Office if any of the following occurs: 1) curriculum
change which may affect eligibility of current courses’
applicability to the new degree program; 2) any change
in course load which would change the student’s status
to full-time or reduce status to less than full-time; and 3)
any resignation for a term of enrollment at ULM. These
changes may affect a student’s VA benefits and could
result in the student’s being required to repay funds to the
Veterans Administration.
National Guard students who receive the state
exemption to pay their tuition cannot be on probation and
must call 1-225-255-8304.
Dependents of disabled or deceased veterans who
are eligible to receive the state exemption must present
their original stamped certificate to Student Account
Services, Coenen 102.
