Policies and procedures

Certification

The certifying official is tasked with certifying your credits each term, usually around 30 days before the semester begins. If you register late or modify your enrollment, it is crucial to inform the certifying official of these changes to ensure the accuracy of your certification. Additionally, it is equally essential to provide the certifying official with copies of any Add, Drop, Withdrawal, or Change of Program forms.

Minimum requirements

Students receiving VA Educational Benefits must maintain satisfactory progress. If a student on VA Benefits falls below a 2.0 GPA for two consecutive semesters, this will be reported to the VA as unsatisfactory progress, and benefits will be suspended. In order to reinstate your VA Benefits, you must complete one semester with a GPA of 2.0 or higher.

Attendance

Federal law requires that students report any changes in enrollment status immediately, as it may affect the disbursement of benefits. If you do not attend class, you are not entitled to benefits for that course. You must officially complete a Course Withdrawal Form with your department advisor and report the withdrawal to the Financial Aid and Business Offices
