Eligibility for VA Benefits

Veterans or veterans' dependents receiving educational benefits must meet to the following regulations to maintain their eligibility:

  • Register for at least 12 credits per quarter to receive full benefits, 9-11 credits for 3/4 time, 6-8 credits for 1/2 time, 4-5 credits for less than 1/4 time. (Veterans Administration pays tuition only for 1-3 credits. These credits must apply toward a degree.)
  • Maintain satisfactory academic progress toward graduation.
  • Report any changes in course load (cancellations, additions) to the Financial Aid Office (and repay benefits, retroactive to the start of the quarter, for any course dropped 30 days after the start of a quarter, or for any course not completed if the cancellation or incompletion changes their enrollment status: half time, three-quarters time, or full time).
