Enrollment Status

For normal Fall and Spring terms, full time VA benefits will be paid if enrolled in 12 or more credit hours. For Summer terms or any other non-standard term, the VA will compute payments based on hours and term length

Attending Classes

You must attend class to receive VA education benefits. It is your responsibility to immediately notify the SCO if you add or drop a class, withdraw from school, or stop attending for any reason. Students may be responsible for overpayments resulting from any of the above listed changes.

Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP)

You must meet the SAU and NC State Approving Agency standards of progress, meaning you must maintain a cumulative GPA of 2.0 or higher. You may not certify for VA benefits beyond two consecutive terms while below standards of progress. If you have extenuating circumstances, you may have the option to appeal.

Changing Majors

If you change your program you must complete a program change form through the VA and notify your SCO. Failure to do so could delay your benefits.

Tuition

The Department of Veteran Affairs will make payments of education benefits directly to you if you have entitlement. NOTE: Chapters 33 and 31 may be exceptions.

Graduation

Students are required to notify the SCO at the beginning of the term they intend to graduate. If needed, students may “round out” their final term and take a class outside of their major to be considered full time.

Spring classes begin January 7th!
