Veterans Benefits
The courses offered by UMC have been approved for veterans and their dependents eligible
for educational benefits under Chapters 30, 31, 32, and 35 of the Veterans Readjustment
Act of 1977. Under the new GI Bill, Chapter 106 (educational assistance program), reserve
and national guard personnel may be eligible for educational benefits. Students
should contact the Office of the Registrar or their local Veterans Administration
office to obtain applications and determine eligibility and entitlement.
At the Office of the Registrar, 170 Owen
Hall, students can get help with any
problems they have with the Veterans Administration (e.g., getting their check,
filling out forms) and find out about the services available to veterans on campus.
Veterans may receive credit for appropriate military training. The registrar will
determine the number of credits acceptable for transfer.
Veterans or veterans' dependents receiving educational benefits must conform to the
following regulations to maintain their eligibility:
- Register for at least 12 credits per quarter to receive full benefits, 9-11 credits
for 3/4 time, 6-8 credits for 1/2 time, 4-5 credits for less than 1/4 time.
(Veterans Administration pays tuition only for 1-3 credits. These credits must
apply toward a degree.)
- Maintain satisfactory academic progress toward graduation.
- Report any changes in course load (cancellations, additions) to the Office of the
Registrar (and repay benefits, retroactive to the start of the quarter, for any
course dropped 30 days after the start of a quarter, or for any course not completed
if the cancellation or incompletion changes their enrollment status: half time,
three-quarters time, or full time).
