Students Entitled to Educational Assistance

A student who is entitled to educational assistance through the VA (Chapter 31 or Chapter 33), will be considered to have pending financial support. They will be permitted to enroll in and attend course(s) for a semester as long as the student provides one of the following by the first day of class:

• Educational institution a certificate of eligibility for entitlement to educational assistance under chapter 31 or 33
• "Statement of Benefits" obtained from the Department of Veterans Affairs' eBenefits website
• VAF 28-1905 form for chapter 31 authorization purposes

Students who receive educational assistance under chapter 31 or 33, will not be penalized, including the assessment of late fees, the denial of access to classes, libraries, or other institutional facilities or require a covered individual to borrow additional funds, if the student's inability to meet their financial obligations to the institution is due to the delayed disbursement funding from the VA under chapter 31 or 33.

This status will end on the earlier of the following dates:

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