All veterans and eligible persons receiving educational assistance from the Veterans Administration must report to the Office of Adult Learners and Veterans Affairs, each term, for approval of their projected class schedule. Failure to comply may interrupt or terminate benefits until the scheduling has been approved. Further, all students receiving VA educational assistance must report any changes in their class schedule, major, and address, where applicable to the Office of Adult Learners and Veterans Affairs as these changes occur.

Students seeking educational benefits through the Department of Veterans Affairs or Department of Defense must submit to the Office of Adult Learners and Veterans Affairs the appropriate eligibility and/or authorization paperwork to include the Veterans Certification Request Form (VCRF) prior to certification. All students should provide copies/verification of changes to the Office of Veterans Affairs as they occur.
