Certification of Veterans
Students receiving Federal VA Educational Benefits must also submit a VA Enrollment Certification Form to the VA School Certifying Official each semester that he/she wishes to have enrollment sent to the VA. Certifications will not be submitted to the VA until this form has been received. Students using Chapter 1606 must verify their enrollment on the last calendar day of each month by using the Automated Verification of Enrollment (WAVE) at https://www.gibill.va.gov/wave or by calling 1-877-823- 2378.
Students receiving VA Educational Benefits are responsible for registering only for courses that are included on their respective degree plan. Veterans’ benefits will not be certified for courses previously passed, unless a grade higher than the earned grade is required, or for auditing courses. Veteran students and dependents will not be paid for courses in which an “I” (Incomplete) was previously received or for courses which are not a part of the declared major unless approved as a substitution for a required course by the appropriate university official.
All Veterans and Dependents receiving educational benefits should contact the VA Certifying Official prior to registration to complete the proper documents for VA certification. If the enrollment period is temporarily interrupted, the VA Certifying Official will recertify when notification of re-enrollment is received from the Veteran. For more information regarding any Veteran educational benefits students may visit the Financial Aid Office. Additionally, students may contact the Department of Veterans Affairs by calling at 1-888-442-4551 or visiting their website at http://gibill.va.gov.
