Veterans Affairs Benefits

Students with outstanding financial obligations to the GTU may not register for classes or graduate. An exception to this policy applies to students using Vocational Rehabilitation and Employment benefits (CH31) or Post-9/11 G.I. Bill® (CH33), according to the following conditions. Such students will be allowed to enroll in and attend courses and access campus facilities while the campus awaits payment for tuition and fees from the VA.

While awaiting receipt of funds from the VA, GTU will not impose any penalty, charge late fees, or require an eligible student to borrow additional funds to cover tuition or fees. This waiting period begins the date the student registers for courses and continues either until funds are received from the VA or until 90 days after the School Certifying Official (the GTU Registrar) has certified the student’s enrollment for tuition and fees.

To demonstrate current eligibility and intent to use Chapter 31 or 33 benefits, a student must provide the following documents: (1) VA Form 28-1905 (Authorization and Certification of Entrance or Reentrance into Rehabilitation and Certification of Status); or (2) Certificate of Eligibility (COE) or Education Enrollment Status form (printed from the VA website); and (3) any additional information requested by the School Certifying Official to properly certify enrollment to the VA.
