INFORMATION<br />
Financial Information<br />
Veterans, dependents, and members of the National Guard or<br />
Reserve may be eligible to receive benefits while pursuing an<br />
approved program of education or training. For this section,<br />
the term “veteran” can refer to a veteran as well as an eligible<br />
dependent or an eligible member of the National Guard or<br />
Reserves.<br />
To receive benefits, the veteran must first be admitted into a<br />
program of study at the <strong>College</strong>. The veteran should then report<br />
to the Veterans Coordinator in the Financial Aid Office with<br />
a copy of their DD214 (if application is based on active duty<br />
service) or Notice of Basic Eligibility (if application is based<br />
on current Reserve or National Guard service). Children and<br />
widows will need specific information on the qualifying veteran<br />
and should contact the Veterans Coordinator to determine<br />
exactly what is needed.<br />
Veterans also must furnish the Admissions Office with official<br />
transcripts from high school and all colleges attended. An<br />
evaluation of all college transcripts must be completed by<br />
the end of the second term in a new program of study. This<br />
evaluation is necessary to determine what credits will count<br />
toward graduation in the veteran’s program of study and must<br />
be reported to Veterans Affairs when enrollment is certified.<br />
Benefits may not be certified beyond the second term until this<br />
is accomplished, and the veteran is responsible for making sure<br />
this process has been completed.<br />
cHAnge of progrAm of study<br />
To change programs of study (major), the same admission and<br />
evaluation process must be followed and a Change of Program<br />
or Place of Training Form (22-1995, or 22-5495 if an eligible<br />
dependent) completed with the Veterans Coordinator.<br />
certIfIcAtIon of enrollment<br />
Certification to Veterans Affairs (VA) for enrollment is only<br />
at the request of the veteran. The Veterans Coordinator must<br />
review the classes selected at registration each term. The law<br />
provides that no payment will be made to an eligible veteran<br />
for auditing a course or for taking a course in which the grade<br />
assigned is not used in computing graduation requirements.<br />
This means that a veteran may not be certified for any course<br />
not listed in his/her curriculum as a graduation requirement.<br />
If there are electives listed as part of the curriculum, the total<br />
number of elective hours designated by the program should<br />
