Useful Information for both New and Continuing Students

Concurrent Enrollment
Veterans have the option to attend more than one school while receiving benefits through the Parent School. The Parent School is considered the primary school that will keep you on track towards your degree goal. The Supplemental School is considered any additional school you may attend.

Short Term / Accelerated Classes
Any course that does not run the full 16 weeks (shorter or longer) will affect your benefits. Your benefit payments are paid according to the length of the class, as well as the credit hours.

Overpayments
Overpayments can be reduced from future enrolled semesters when you request your benefits.
