Information for Military and Veteran Students

• Billing is initiated by the student taking the necessary action specified by the sponsoring agency.
• For veterans who elect to use educational benefits for payment, the benefit certification process must be initiated by the veteran with the Financial Aid office each term.

• The Student Accounts office verifies the student’s enrollment to confirm that the student is registered and, if applicable, that their registration corresponds with the classes listed on the military branch’s records.
• Once the student’s registration has been deemed eligible, the student’s account is coded to prevent holds and late fees until payment is received from the military.

• The student is responsible for the balance that is not paid by the military.  The student should contact their military representative with questions.
• Failure to pay the remaining charges may result in the assessment of late fees and holds on the student’s account. 

The university will return any unearned tuition assistance funds directly to the government agency on a proportional basis through a 60% portion of the period for which the funds were provided.

The following business process is completed for all students receiving military tuition assistance:

1. Invoices for military tuition assistance funds will be issued after the fifth week, following confirmation of registration.
2. Student registration will be verified when payment is received.
3. Student registration will be reviewed in week 10, after 60% of the course has been completed and 100% of the tuition assistance funds have been earned.
4. Unearned tuition assistance payments will be returned if a student ceases attendance before the 60% point of each class.
