GI Bill® Delayed Payment Policy

Per Title 38 of the United States Code, the University must permit any student who is entitled to educational assistance under Chapter 31 Veterans' Readiness and Employment, or Chapter 33 Post 9/11 GI Bill^® benefits to attend or participate in the course of education during the period beginning on the date on which the individual provides the University a Certificate of Eligibility (or a Statement of Benefits) obtained from the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) for entitlement to educational assistance under Chapter 31 or 33, and ending either on the date on which payment from the VA is made to the University, or 90 days after the date the University certified tuition and fees following the receipt of the Certificate of Eligibility, whichever is earlier. 

In addition, the University 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 student who is entitled to educational assistance under Chapter or Chapter 33 benefits borrow additional funds to meet his or her financial obligations to the University due to the delayed disbursement of funding from the VA under Chapter 31 or 33.
