Services for Veterans
The University is approved for the training of students under the various GI Bill® programs. “GI Bill® is a registered trademark of the U.S.” Veterans intending to enroll and receive VA educational benefits should submit an application through the Office of the Registrar of the campus in which they intend to pursue studies.
The beneficiaries of educational services for veterans, including eligible family relatives, have the right to enjoy these benefits only for the period of time required for completing their academic degree as established in this Catalog and by applicable legislation and regulations.
Study time required for completing an academic program depends on the number of credits required for the program, the nature of the courses and the number of credits the student takes each term. An estimate of the period of time required may be obtained by dividing the total number of credits required for the program by 15, which is the average number of credits taken by a full-time regular student.
