Veterans’ educational benefits

Due to the number of veteran educational programs, students should contact Military/Veterans Services for detailed information. In general, the following information applies:

• In order to receive benefits, entitled students must be in a specific program of study and be eligible to receive benefits only for the courses required in that program. Students are required to attend all classes for which they are registered and maintain satisfactory academic progress. Eligible veterans normally receive a monthly check that may vary in amount since it is determined by class load.
• If possible, new veteran students should apply for benefits 30-60 days prior to the start of the quarter they plan to attend; however, application can be made at any time during the quarter. Students who have attended other institutions must request that official transcripts of credit earned at the institution(s) be sent directly to the Records office for evaluation of prior credit into their current program of study. Certain veterans and veterans’ dependents may be eligible for additional benefits.
