Each semester you would like to utilize VA benefits, veterans must complete a Request for VA Enrollment Certification form, provided all other information is already on file. Contact [email protected] for this form. Additionally, if you change your major, a new plan of study is required. For more information, see Recertification tab below.

Recertification

强烈建议在以下日期之前申请认证,以确保OU和VA之间及时处理. 请记住,我们在这里是为了在整个过程中帮助你,但你也必须拥有自己的利益.

You will initially be certified by the number of classes you are taking. At the end of the add/drop period, we again certify you with the tuition amount based on your schedule.

  • For Chapter 30, 1606, 1607 and 35, tuition will be paid directly to you.
  • For Chapter 31 and 33, tuition is paid to OU. 请记住,如果您的第33章福利低于100%,您将负责剩余的余额. It is encouraged that you consider all of your options, such as a payment plan, FAFSA and OU grants and scholarships.

请记住,每次添加或退出课程时,您都需要通知退伍军人认证. 如果不这样做,可能会导致您可能没有意识到的认证调整. If you have questions, 请让我们知道,我们可以在你调整你的日程之前与你讨论这个问题.
