  • Student Responsibilities

  • Register for the Correct Classes
    • Classes outside of your major cannot be certified.
    • Classes (with a passing grade) cannot be certified if repeated.
    • Audited classes cannnot be certified.
    Reporting Enrollment Chapters 30, 1606, and 1607 are required to report enrollment status on the last calendar day of each MONTH at www.gibill.va.gov/wave/index.do or by calling 1 (877) 823-2378
     Enrollment Status Enrollment status is based on the number of enrolled hours. If you are in a class (4-week, 8-week, 12-week) that does not run the entire semester, your enrollment status can change throughout the semester.
     Satisfactory Academic Progress You must maintain a 2.0 GPA. If you fall below a 2.0, you will be placed on Academic Warning and you will have two consecutive semesters to regain the required GPA. If after two consecutive semesters of below a 2.0 GPA, your VA benefits will be terminated until you begin meeting the Standards of Academic
    Progress.
     Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA)  I fully understand that I have the option to apply for the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) each academic year (Fall, Spring, Summer) and use my financial aid eligibility to assist with my tuition and fees and/or books.
     Withdrawing from Classes I fully understand that if I withdraw from any of my courses, the Veterans Affairs Office will re-calculate my benefits eligibility and I may incur an overpayment. If I experience mitigating circumstances (ex:death in immediate family, personal health reasons, unforeseen change in work obligation, etc.), I will submit all documentation to the School Certifying Official to notify Veterans Affairs of the circumstance(s)
     Changing Majors  You must complete a Form 22-1995 (Form 22-5495 for dependents/spouse) and submit a copy to your SCO. Failure to do so could delay your VA Benefits.
     Reporting Address Change Students are required to report address and direct deposit changes to VA via WAVE
    http://www.gibill.va.gov/wave/index.do or by calling 1 (877) 823-2378. Address changes must also be reported to your SCO and to the VGCC Admissions/Records Office.
     Graduation Students are required to notify their SCO at the beginning of the semester they intend to graduate. Students may “round out” their final term and take a class outside of their major if needed. This is the only time rounding can be certified.
