VOCATIONAL REHABILITATION<br />

Most colleges cooperate with the State Department of<br />

Rehabilitative Services in providing education and<br />

training for persons with vocational handicaps. Vocational<br />

Rehabilitation students are required to apply for<br />

financial aid.<br />

VETERANS BENEFIT INFORMATION<br />

Most programs and courses of instruction at the college<br />

are approved for veterans benefits. Persons who are eligible<br />

for veterans educational assistance should contact<br />

their local Veterans Administration office or the college<br />

Veterans Affairs Office and secure the forms needed to<br />

apply for educational assistance. Any veteran wishing to<br />

receive benefits must be officially accepted by the college<br />

into an approved program. Once veterans are accepted<br />

in a program of study, they are allowed to take required<br />

courses and electives as outlined in the catalog. Prior<br />

approval from the student’s faculty advisor is required<br />

to substitute other courses for required courses. Each<br />

veteran or veteran’s dependent in a degree, certificate, or<br />

diploma program must report withdrawals and/or class<br />

drops to the Veterans Affairs Office.<br />

Waived Tuition-Survivors of Certain Veterans<br />

Section 23-7.1 of the Code of Virginia provides that free<br />

tuition shall be granted to children of permanently disabled<br />

or deceased veterans of armed forces of the United<br />

States to state-supported institutions of secondary grade<br />

or college level.<br />

Eligibility of such children shall be determined by the<br />

Division of War Veterans Claims which shall verify in<br />

writing to the admitting institution that tuition should<br />

be waived in accordance with the provisions of Section<br />

23-7.1. An application may be secured from the Veterans<br />

Affairs Office. A letter of certification from the State Division<br />

of War Veterans Claims must be presented to the<br />

Veterans Affairs Coordinator at the time of registration<br />

before the tuition can be waived. The VA administers<br />

several programs under the GI Bill for veterans, active<br />

duty personnel, Reserve and National Guard, as well as<br />

qualified dependents of veterans. To obtain information<br />

on these programs contact the college’s Veterans Affairs<br />

Office.<br />
