Important Information for Enrolled Students:
Student Responsibility
Be sure to keep track of your remaining benefits to gain the maximum benefit from your GI Bill®. For each term that is certified to the VA, you will be sent an updated Certificate of Eligibility (COE) that details how much entitlement you have remaining once the term you are enrolled in has ended. If you are not receiving these letters, please contact the VA and update your address. The Veterans Certifying Official does not have access to this information, so it is up to you to keep track of your remaining benefit time. Changes to enrollment could result in a debt. Consult with the Veterans Certifying Official prior to adjusting your enrollment after the add/drop period.
If your benefits exhaust during enrollment:
- For certain veterans using CH 33 benefits, if your GI Bill® exhausts during a term, the VA will pay the full tuition and fees for the term you are currently attending. Veterans must not have used 48 months of combined VA educational benefits and must not have reached their delimiting date.
- For dependents using CH 33 benefits, if your GI Bill® exhausts during a term, the VA will ONLY pay for tuition, fees and the Monthly Housing Allowance (MHA) up to the end date of your benefits. It is the student's responsibility to cover the remaining tuition and fees expenses for that term. Please notify the VCO if you have less than six months of entitlement remaining and more than one term left to complete your degree.
