VA Pending Payment Policy
VA Pending Payment Policy
In accordance with the Veterans Benefits and Transition Act of 2018, beneficiaries of Chapter 33 (Post-9/11 GI Bill®) and Chapter 31 (Veteran Readiness & Employment) may attend courses while VA payments are pending as long as they submit:
- A valid Certificate of Eligibility (or equivalent e-Benefits form) or valid VA 28-1905 to the Registrar.
- A written request for VA certification for the term (VA Enrollment Certification Request Form).
- Provide any additional information needed to properly certify the enrollment as requested by the Registrar.
Beneficiaries who have fulfilled the requirements above will not be denied access to classes, libraries, or institutional facilities, nor will they be prohibited from course registration. Such beneficiaries will not be required to seek alternative or additional funding in place of their pending VA payment. Beneficiaries who have provided proof of eligibility for 100% tuition coverage via Chapter 33 GI Bill®, Yellow Ribbon, or Chapter 31 (in addition to the items listed above) will not be assessed late fees for VA covered education expenses while the university is awaiting VA payment. Beneficiaries eligible for less than 100% tuition coverage may be assessed a late charge for the uncovered portion of their tuition and non-VA covered education expenses if they have not met financial obligations prior to the semester payment deadline.
