INFORMATION FOR VETERANS AND ELIGIBLE DEPENDENTS
The Office of the Registrar at Benedict College offers assistance and information on College programs
and applications for education benefits to veterans and eligible dependents. The Office of the Registrar
certifies enrollment and transmits attendance records, degree requirements, and other information
concerning veterans enrolled at Benedict College to the Veterans Administration. Admission to the
College should be obtained before the student applies for veterans benefits. The appropriate applica¬tion
forms for benefits will be sent with the offer of admission. Beginning students are urged to
com¬plete all forms and return them to the Office of the Registrar at least eight weeks prior to enrollment,
so that they might receive their first benefit check in time for use at registration. In addition, the
veter¬an should apply for a certificate of eligibility at the nearest Veterans Administration Regional
Office at least eight weeks prior to the expected date of enrollment.
In order to be eligible for a full monthly allowance, a veteran must be registered for twelve or more credit
hours per semester. Those registered for less than 12 semester credit hours are eligible for part-time
com¬pensation. Veterans are responsible for reporting any change in enrollment status or other previously
reported information to the Veterans Administration and to the Office of the Registrar and Student Records.
PROVISIONS FOR DISABLED AND SPECIAL NEED STUDENTS
The College makes provisions to accommodate disabled and special need students. Facilities to
accommodate students with physical handicaps include the Learning Resources Center, the Human
Resources Center, the Fine Arts/Humanities Center and Mather Hall, Oak Street and Haskell
Dormitories. Services are available through the Office of the Coordinator of Special Student Services.
