- Registering only for courses applicable to their degree program.
- Reporting enrollment changes promptly.
- Maintaining satisfactory academic progress.
- Monitoring benefit entitlement and eligibility.
- Complying with all University policies and VA regulations.
Failure to meet these responsibilities may affect benefit eligibility and could result in adjustments or overpayments.
Changes in Enrollment
Students must notify the Office of the Registrar immediately if they:
- Add or drop courses.
- Withdraw from a course or from the University.
- Change majors or degree programs.
- Change enrollment status.
Enrollment changes may affect VA educational benefit payments, housing allowances, and other educational assistance.
Protection from Penalties During Pending VA Payments
In accordance with federal law, students using Chapter 33 (Post-9/11 GI Bill®) or Chapter 31 (Veteran Readiness and Employment) benefits who have provided the required documentation will not be denied access to classes, assessed late fees, or otherwise penalized while awaiting payment from the Department of Veterans Affairs.
Students remain responsible for any charges not covered by their VA educational benefits.
Academic Standards
Students receiving veterans educational benefits must maintain satisfactory academic progress as defined by University policy. Academic suspension, dismissal, or failure to meet institutional standards may impact eligibility for continued educational assistance.
