Military-Affiliated Students Awaiting VA Payment

Title 38 USC 3679(e) Compliance

A student using Veteran Readiness and Employment benefits (Chapter 31), Post 9/11 GI Bill (Chapter 33), or Survivors’ and Dependents’ Education Assistance program (Chapter 35) will be allowed to enroll in and attend courses and access campus facilities while the campus awaits payment for tuition and fees from the VA.

While awaiting receipt of funds from the VA, Stan State will not impose any penalty, charge late fees or require an eligible student to borrow additional funds to cover tuition or fees. This waiting period begins the date the student provides appropriate documentation and continues either until funds are received from the VA or until 90 days after the School Certifying Official has certified the student’s enrollment for tuition and fees.

To demonstrate current eligibility and intent to use Chapter 31, 33, or 35 benefits, a student must provide the following documents:

• VA Form 28-1905 (Authorization and Certification of Entrance or Reentrance into Rehabilitation and Certification of Status); or
• Certificate of Eligibility (COE) or Education Enrollment Status form (printed from the VA website)
• A written or CMS Veterans Module request to use VA Veterans Readiness and Employment, Post 9/11 GI Bill, or Survivors’ and Dependents’ Education Assistance benefits
• All additional information requested by the School Certifying Official to properly certify enrollment to the VA:
  • Education/Degree Plan
  • Enrollment Verification Form
  • DD-214 (for veterans)
