Registration
Veterans education benefits are assessed based on the student’s enrollment status. The maximum benefit is provided to those students who are enrolled full-time. The benefit provided to those with less than full-time enrollment is reduced proportionately.
Enrollment Status | Undergraduate | Graduate |
Full-time | 12+ credits | 9+ credits |
3/4 time | 9-11 credits | 7-8 credits |
Half-time | 6-8 credits | 5-6 credits |
Less than half-time | 1-5 credits | 1-4 credits |
Registration Tips
Register for classes and finalize your schedule at least 3 weeks before the start of the term to ensure your benefits are paid in a timely manner.
Before you withdraw from a class or make any changes to your registration, please contact the certifying officials or veterans’ coordinator to review your options and discuss overpayment.
Please refer to the Quarterly Certification of Benefits and Frequently Asked Questions pages for additional information.
