Time to Register
November 9th, 2010
For those attending college, it is that time of year to start the process to register for the Spring semester. If you are using your earned Post 9/11 GI Bill benefits, remember you must request certification for the next semester through your school’s Veteran’s Administration representative after you sign-up for the classes you wish to take.
Each school has a local form you must fill out for your VA Rep. to use as a guide that asks you questions about your enrollment; like, “Are you repeating any courses?”; “Has your major changed?”; “Are you active duty?”; another important one, “Do you require a Veteran’s Hold Agreement?” (the Hold Agreement basically tells the school the VA is paying the bills, and it allows you to proceed as if payment has been made), and what your education objective is and if it has changed (remember, to declare, change or add a secondary major, you must fill out VA form 22-1995 – and submit it to your VA Rep).
One last, very important reminder – carefully consider whether or not BREAK PAY is right for you, and ensure you notify your VA Rep. in writing of your intention NOT to use it if you wish to extend the tuition benefit the full 36 months. Getting break pay reduces your tuition benefit!
Now, go do your homework, and study – I am sure you have a test coming up.
