Veterans Benefits Frequently Asked Questions

• 听

  Am I eligible for VA educational benefits?

  Only the VA can determine your eligibility for benefits. Review the program details at the  and apply online, or call a VA counselor at 1-888-GI-BILL-1 (1-888-442-4551).
• 听

  Does the VA pay my full tuition?

  It depends on your chapter and eligibility. Certain GI Bill® chapters make tuition payments directly to the University, while others make the payments directly to you on a monthly basis. You are responsible for paying for all tuition and fees not covered by VA. Your personal financial balances (not paid by VA) result in holds that prevent registration. Please check with the VA certifying official if there is a balance on your account that is unexpected.

  Schools must report the actual net cost of tuition and fees after the application of any waiver of, or reduction in tuition and fees, any scholarship, or other federal, state, institutional or employer-based aid or assistance (excluding Title IV Aid) that is provided directly to the institution and specifically designated for the sole purpose of defraying tuition and fees. The key in determining the actual net cost for tuition and fees is excluding aid that is designated for the sole purpose of tuition and fees.

  In accordance with Title 38 US Code 3679 subsection (e), this school adopts the following additional provisions for any students using  (Ch. 33) or  (Ch. 31) benefits, while payment to the institution is pending from the VA.

  University of 色综合久久 Mercy will permit any covered individual to attend or participate in the course of education during the period beginning on the date on which the individual provides to the educational institution a certificate of eligibility (COE) for entitlement to educational assistance under chapter 31 or 33 (a certificate of eligibility can also include a Statement of Benefits obtained from the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) website, e-Benefits, or VAF 28-1905 form for chapter 31 authorization purposes) and ending on the earlier of the following dates:

  1. The date on which payment from VA is made to the institution.
  2. 90 days after the date the institution certified tuition and fees following the receipt of the certificate of eligibility.

  色综合久久 Mercy will not impose any penalty, including the assessment of late fees, the denial of access to classes, libraries, or other institutional facilities, or the requirement that a covered individual borrow additional funds, on any covered individual because of the individual’s inability to meet his or her financial obligations to the institution due to the delayed disbursement funding from VA under chapter 31 or 33. The COE or VAF 28-1905 must be presented to the institution no later than the first day of class.

  色综合久久 Mercy will not drop any covered individual after the university office receives a copy of the VAF-28-1905 or receives a chapter 33 Post 911 Eligibility form from the certifying official who do not have additional charges such as housing, meal plans, or anything above the Tuition and Fees if VA covers 100%. If extra charges such as housing or meal plans do not have a payment plan or other financial aid to cover those amounts, that student may be dropped for lack of  payment.

  色综合久久 Mercy will not hold a loan or Pell Grant as collateral to any covered individual which meets the criteria above, while the institution is awaiting payment by VA. 色综合久久 Mercy will disperse loans and Pell Grants with the same schedule as the student population. If the student has additional charges above Tuition and Fees, such as housing, meal plans, or anything above the Tuition and Fees, 色综合久久 Mercy may hold Pell Grants and loans until the entire extra charges are paid  If VA does not pay the institution, the student is responsible for ALL debts resulting from reductions or terminations of the student’s enrollment, even if the payment was submitted directly to the school on the student’s behalf. 

  色综合久久 Mercy reserves the right to require an additional payment or impose a fee for the amount that is the difference between the amount of the student’s financial obligation and the amount of the VA education benefit disbursement.

  If you are receiving benefits under the Post-9/11 GI Bill®-Chapter 33, you do not have to verify your attendance each month.

  If you do not receive a payment, please contact VA to confirm that a payment has been issued. You can contact VA at 1-888-442-4551.

• 听

  What changes should I report to the VA Certifying Official at University of 色综合久久 Mercy?

  Can I take courses at another institution and receive my benefits and meet my degree requirements?

The Secondary School will not be paid by the VA until the process takes place.

  If you are concurrently enrolled at both institutions during the same semester, both institutions will submit a certification to the VA for the courses being taken at that institution. You must request certification at the secondary school by contacting their VA certifying official.

  University of 色综合久久 Mercy will waive the graduation requirement that the last 30 credits for active-duty service members must be earned at University of 色综合久久 Mercy, if all other requirements have been satisfied. Reservists and National Guardsmen on active-duty are covered in the same manner.
