These Policies only apply to those students receiving VA Benefits. Students receiving VA benefits must enroll in the brick and mortar program, the VA will not provide benefits for the distance education program.
SECTION 1: SATISFACTORY ACADEMIC & ATTENDANCE POLICY (SAP)
Students receiving Veterans education benefits must meet satisfactory academic progress (SAP) and attendance requirements in accordance with the school’s SAP and Attendance policies in order to remain eligible to be certified for VA education benefits.
VA students on academic probation are considered to be maintaining satisfactory progress and will continue to be certified for education benefits with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), however, the VA will be notified if probation occurs.
If students fail to meet academic requirements while on probation, their enrollment certification will be terminated which may result in VA requiring students to repay a portion or all benefits received. Once benefits are terminated due to SAP or attendance, students are ineligible to be certified for VA education benefits until SAP is once again met or if students successfully appeal the decision for readmission.
SECTION 2: PREVIOUS EDUCATION, TRAINING, AND MILITARY TRANSCRIPTS
We evaluate and accept up to 500 transfer hours, but only if certified. The length of the program will be shortened proportionately for students with transfer hours.
Students utilizing VA education benefits must provide all transcripts and records of previous education and training. We will evaluate these records and, when possible, grant appropriate credit for the previous education and/or training, shorten the length of the training program by accepting up to 500 transfer hours, and notify the student regarding the amount of credit being granted for previous training.
