Benefits Information

Students with veteran eligibility through the Department of Veteran Affairs (VA) may be certified to receive VA educational benefits by registering in the college Veterans Office, located on the second floor of Roy Klay Hall, Building A.

How To Apply For Benefits

Veterans or eligible dependents wishing to enroll should:

  1. Contact the college Veterans Office.

  2. Complete the VA Application Form for Education Benefits. The VA application form is available from the Veterans Office or is online at www.gibill.va.gov. This form should be completed before the start of the enrollment period.

  3. Provide a copy of the Veteran's DD214 (Authorization for Separation from Active Duty) or Certificate of Eligibility for Chapter 1606 or 1607.

  4. Indicate the applicant's VA Claim Number on the application, if a prior claim was filed with the VA.

  5. Enroll every term in courses meeting the curriculum requirements in the student's program of study.

Every semester, the college Veterans Office reviews and certifies each veteran for the number of credit hours taken in their approved program.

Change of Program/Objective 

Veterans who have used VA benefits in the past and have entitlement remaining may change their original objective or program of study by completing the Request for Change of Program or Place of Training (VA Form 22-1995) in the College Veterans Office, Building A-200. 

Change of Course Schedule 

 Veterans who wish to change their course schedules during the semester should inform the college Veterans Office immediately so that courses that are part of the VA-approved program can be certified for payment. 

Re-enrollment 

Veterans who wish to enroll for classes following a complete withdrawal or lapse in enrollment should notify the college Veterans Office so that proper certification can be made to the VA.
