Students applying for veteran's education benefits should allow eight to ten weeks before receiving benefits. The amount of benefits awarded is determined by the Department of Veterans Affairs and is based on the number of credit hours for which a student is enrolled and the length of the enrollment period for each course. Students will inform the School Certifying Official (SCO) if any changes in schedule of classes occurs. Submit the CAC Certification Form to the SCO every semester to use VA education benefits. Submit all prior college and military transcripts to SCO and Transcript Evaluation Office. Failure to comply will result of volition of Student Code of Conduct, and non-processing of certification paperwork by SCO. Once transcript evaluation is complete, I understand that there may be prior credit applicable to the Program of Study for a course taken, and I would be responsible for paying back funds to VA if course was initially certified by SCO. Students must meet with Academic Advisor to ensure courses are applicable to Program of Study and provide SCO with POS or Master Academic Plan (MAP). This may involve regularly reviewing degree requirement with Advisor. Notify Registration Office and SCO of a Change of Program if student decides to change Program of Study (POS) and meet with Academic Advisor for a MAP. Report attendance, if required by the VA education benefit e.g. CH. 1606, 1607, & 30. Payment for courses not applicable to Program of Study is student’s responsibility. Short-term (also called late start, compressed, accelerated pace) courses will affect benefits, especially full-time status. Maintaining Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) is required for continued use of VA education benefits; failure to do so, may result in suspension or termination of VA Educational Benefits. Notifying the SCO of withdraw from a course, and possible student responsibility to pay back funds to the VA. In the event of a deployment or hardship that requires the student to completely withdraw from CAC may require supporting documentation to be submitted to CAC SCO.

You further agree to acknowledge that you are responsible for the above terms and conditions and hereby declare that I have read and understood the Terms above and failure to comply with these terms may result in lack/loss/delay of VA Education Benefit payment, debt to the College, and/or debt to the Department of Veteran Affairs.
