Veterans and Eligible Dependents

The Office of the Registrar at Benedict College offers assistance and information on College programs and applications for education benefits to veterans and eligible dependents. The Office of the Registrar certifies enrollment and transmits attendance records, degree requirements, and other information concerning veterans enrolled at Benedict to the Veterans Administration. Admission to the College should be obtained before the student applies for veterans benefits. The appropriate application forms for benefits will be sent with the offer of admission. Beginning students are urged to complete all forms and return them to the Office of the Registrar at least eight weeks prior to enrollment, so that they might receive their first benefit check in time for use at registration. In addition, the veteran should apply for a certificate of eligibility at the nearest Veterans Administration Regional Office at least eight weeks prior to the expected date of enrollment.

In order to be eligible for a full monthly allowance, a veteran must be registered for twelve or more credit hours per semester. Those registered for less than 12 credit hours are eligible for part-time compensation. Veterans are responsible for reporting any change in enrollment status or other previously reported information to the Veterans Administration and to the Office of the Registrar and Student Records.
