Certification Procedures
- All enrolled and eligible students will be automatically
certified for the fall and spring semesters of each academic
year. If for any reason you do not wish to be certified for a
specific semester, you must contact the NDSU VA Representative.
- Students will not be automatically certified for summer
sessions. If you wish to draw benefits during the summer, you
must notify the NDSU VA
Representative.
- Certification of enrolled students begins in late July for
the next academic year. It is beneficial to have secured your
eligibility and to have enrolled for classes by this time to
avoid a delay in benefits.
Changes in Enrollment
- To prevent errors in received benefits, NDSU students should
notify the NDSU VA Representative if
they add or drop classes. Each student's enrollment will be
verified by the NDSU VA Representative at
least once each month, but prompt reporting from students
regarding their enrollment will assist in the proper disbursement
of benefits from VA.
- VA, not NDSU, determines the enrollment status of a student
(full time, three-quarters, half, part time, etc.) and pays
accordingly.
Major Changes
- Students who change their major and draw from Chapters 30,
35, 1606, or 1607 must complete a "Change of
Program/Place of Training" (22-1995 or 22-5495)
with the NDSU VA
Representative.
Chapter Changes
- Student changing from Chapter 1606 to 1607 or 30 to 31 must
apply to become eligible for the change in chapter. This change
is not automatice upon returning from being activated or being
injured. See the application process for Chapter 1607 and 31 to
apply for a chapter change.
- Students receiving a change to Chapter 1607 will need to
bring a copy of their new Certificate of Eligibility to the
NDSU VA Representative for the change
to be made in their NDSU student record.
