Students eligible for VA benefits should contact the Office of Financial Aid before registration to make sure all VA paperwork is in order.
The Veterans Administration determines your eligibility for benefits and will make payment to you directly once you've been certified. Therefore, if you are eligible for VA benefits you'll register and pay your university bills in the same manner as non-veteran students. Once your paperwork has been processed through VA, those receiving GI Bill (ch 30, 35, & 1606) must certify their enrollment monthly through the V.A. web site at http://www.gibill.va.gov/
