The University of Florida is approved by the Florida Department of<br />

Veterans Affairs (VA) to educate and train veterans or their eligible<br />

spouses or dependents.<br />

Ten federal public laws currently provide education/job-training<br />

programs for VA-eligible students. Six programs serve most<br />

students:<br />

—Chapter 30 for U.S. Military Veterans<br />

—Chapter 31 for Disabled U.S. Military Veterans<br />

—Chapter 33 (Post 9/11 GI Bill) provides financial support for<br />

education and housing to individuals with at least 90 days of<br />

aggregate service on or after September 11, 2001, or to individuals<br />

discharged with a service-connected disability after 30 days. Service<br />

members enrolled in the Post 9/11 GI Bill program may also<br />

transfer unused educational benefits to their spouses or children.<br />

—Chapter 35 for Spouse and Children of Deceased or 100 percent<br />

(permanent and totally) Disabled Veterans (service connected)<br />

—Chapter 1606 for personnel in the National Guard or U.S. Military<br />

Reserves.<br />

—Chapter 1607 for personnel in the National Guard or U.S. Military<br />

Reserves called or ordered to active duty in response to a war or<br />

national emergency (contingency operation) as declared by the<br />

President or Congress. Members may be eligible after serving 90<br />

consecutive days on active duty after September 11, 2001.<br />

—Chapter 30, 1606 and 1607 program participants are required to<br />

verify attendance each month to the federal VA. Verification can be<br />

done online on the Web Automated Verification of Enrollment<br />

(WAVE) page or veterans can call 1-877-823-2378.<br />

Students are required to meet the minimum cumulative <strong>UF</strong> grade<br />

point average for their specific academic program; i.e., 2.00 for<br />

undergraduate/professional degrees and 3.00 for graduate degrees.<br />

The first term a student falls below minimum standards a warning<br />

will be sent. If at the end of the next term of enrollment a student<br />

is below minimum standards, the student's educational benefits will<br />

be terminated and the DVA will be notified of the student's<br />

unsatisfactory progress for VA pay purposes. Students must meet<br />

the conditions for <strong>UF</strong> readmission to become eligible again for VA<br />

educational programs.<br />

<strong>UF</strong>'s Office of Veterans Affairs in 222 Criser Hall coordinates<br />

veterans services and specific program information. Eligible students<br />
