PART 2. PROCEDURE

Veterans' Responsibility: Training Credits Procedures and Guidelines

To request Veteran's Educational Benefits: 

Student brings the Certification of Eligibility to a Veteran's representative on campus.

If the student has attended another institution, the college will require an academic transcript from each college attended.

The college will verify with the Veterans Affairs Office the number of credits the student takes each semester.

It is the student's responsibility to inform the Veterans Affairs Office or the Veteran’s representative at the school if they withdraw from any courses during the semester.

Benefit Reduction

The college may grant credit for military and other training/education that is relevant to the Minnesota State College Southeast program curriculum. However, the subsequent reduction in credit hours may result in a reduction in the amount of the monthly check.

Satisfactory Progress Requirements

In order to remain eligible for veteran's educational benefits, veterans are subject to College Satisfactory Academic Progress standards.

Withdrawal Penalty

With some exceptions, a veteran who withdraws from the college during any given term will be required to repay benefits received from the Veterans Administration for the days in which the veteran was officially enrolled in that term. Veterans should clarify with the college veteran's representative their status regarding withdrawal.
