Student Responsibilities

 

Students using VA education benefits at KSU have ongoing responsibilities to KSU and the Department of Veterans Affairs. The VA and the School Certifying Officials at KSU closely monitor each student's enrollment 色色啦 and academic program. To ensure that a student's enrollment is certified to the VA accurately and timely, and to reduce VA payment delays, please adhere to the following:

  • Completing the Intake process when new to using a VA education benefit at KSU.
  • Submitting the Request for Certification form every semester you wish to use benefits.
  • Reviewing any emails you receive from the School Certifying Officials (SCOs).
  • Completing Out-of-State Waiver paperwork if applicable.
  • Keeping your contact information updated with KSU and the VA.
  • Checking your Degree Works to confirm that your classes apply to your declared degree.
  • Paying all charges on your student account that are not covered by the VA (as described below and in the Benefit Review for your specific benefit).
  • Verifying your enrollment with the VA on the last day of each month (if required - see below).

VA Requirement for Monthly Verification

Students using Ch. 33 Post 9/11, Ch. 30 MGIB-AD, and Ch. 1606 MGIB-SR must verify their enrollment to the VA on the last day of each month. You can find instructions on the U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs website.

University Charges

Students are responsible for paying all university bills and must adhere to published payment deadlines as listed on the Academic Calendar.

All students must submit a Request for Certification form each semester before they can be certified for their benefits.

Ch. 30/Ch. 1606/Ch. 35:

Students using Ch. 30 MGIB-AD, Ch. 1606 MGIB-SR, and Ch. 35 DEA are responsible for paying all tuition and fees prior to the published payment deadline. Under these chapters, the VA does not pay any money to the school but instead sends a monthly stipend directly to the student.

Ch. 33 Post 9/11:

Students using Ch. 33 Post 9/11 who have submitted a valid Request for Certification form for the semester, receive 100% of the benefit, and have an in-state 色色啦 will have their tuition and mandatory student fees covered by the VA for all classes that meet degree requirements. Students must pay any balance not covered by the VA (housing on campus, meal plans, book charges, parking permits, etc.) by the payment deadline.

Any Ch. 33 student with an out-of-state* 色色啦, receiving less than 100% of the Post 9/11 benefit, or with insufficient benefit time to cover the full semester, will be responsible for any charges not covered by their VA benefit and must pay by the payment deadline. *Students should contact the Tuition Classification team to complete documents for a waiver of the out-of-state portion of the tuition.

If the Request for Certification is not on file, the Ch. 33 Post 9/11 student must pay full tuition and mandatory student fees by the payment deadline.

Ch. 31 VR&E:

Students using Ch. 31 VR&E must verify through their Ch. 31 VR&E Counselor that their authorization to charge the university (for tuition/fees/books, and/or supplies) has been uploaded for the School Certifying Official. Ch. 31 students must also submit the Request for Certification form for their benefit to be applied to their student account. Students must pay any balance not covered by the VA (meal plans, dining dollars, unauthorized bookstore charges, etc.) by the payment deadline.

Any Ch. 31 VR&E student with an out-of-state* 色色啦 will be responsible for any charges not covered by their VA benefit and must pay by the payment deadline. *Students should contact the Tuition Classification team to complete documents for a waiver of the out-of-state portion of the tuition.

If the Request for Certification is not on file, or if the school has not received a valid authorization, the Ch. 31 VR&E student must pay full tuition and mandatory student fees by the payment deadline.
