Veterans Affairs

Veteran Friendly ... Veteran Ready ... Veteran Proud.


Veteran Affairs Upon admission to the university, students eligible for the Montgomery GI Bill or Post 9/11 GI Bill benefits must report to the Veterans Affairs Desk in the Office of the Registrar, 150 Warren Student Services Center.

You can apply for your VA benefits through U.S. Veterans Affairs or you can come into the Office of the Registrar for a paper application. Once you have been approved for your benefits the VA will send you an eligibility letter, you will need to provide us with a copy of the eligibility letter and a copy of your DD-214. Students may contact their unit of assignment, education office, or personnel office to determine the web sites where they can obtain copies of DD-214s and Notice of Basic Eligibility (NOBE) forms.

Two credits are awarded for Basic Military Training (BMT) which will meet the general education Fitness and Recreational Skill requirement. In order to receive those credits we must receive a copy of your DD-214.

Students eligible for VA education programs can receive benefits under only one program at any given time and cannot receive more than a maximum of 48 months of benefits under any combination of VA education programs. This includes the Post 9/11 GI Bill (Chapter 33), the MGIB Chapters 30, 35, 1606 and 1607 and Voc Rehab Chapter 31.
