Academic criteria
To receive GI Bill and Chapter 35 benefits, you must meet the registration, attendance, and grades criteria described below. The University is required to report your performance to the USDVA if you fail to meet eligibility standards. As a result, you could receive reduced benefits and be required to repay benefits already paid to you.
Registration criteria
To receive the maximum benefit amount, you must be registered full time. The number of credits you take will impact your benefit eligibility, cost of attendance, and student status. For those reasons, before you cancel a class(es), go to One Stop online and contact the Veterans Certification Office so you understand how lowering your credit load might affect your benefit status or financial aid eligiility.
Attendance criteria
You must attend class and submit assigned work in order to benefits, according to VA regulations. If you are facing challenges in your classes, please contact the Veterans Certification Office as soon as possible to learn about academic and tutoring resources available to assist you
Grades criteria
You may have to repay your military benefits, if you receive:
- an "F" in a class for not attending or submitting assignments.
- an "N" in a class because the credits do not count toward your grade point average (GPA) or graduation requirements.
