VA Benefits Semester Enrollment

Enrollment Certification Policies

I certify that I have benefits to use in this term. If I am unsure, I will contact the VA directly. I am solely responsible for ensuring I have active benefits available.
Only students enrolled in an undergraduate or graduate degree-seeking program and courses may have their enrollments certified. LMU does not certify LMU Extension courses or programs.
Only courses required by my degree program are eligible for benefits. The VA will not pay for courses which are not listed as a requirement of my program.
In each semester and each summer session: Undergraduate full-time status is 12 units; graduate full-time status is six (6) units.
In the schedule of classes, the instructional method of each course is printed. Students may not arrange for or change the stated attendance method. Classroom-based courses require the student to be physically present in the classroom for instruction. The VA requires students to take classroom-based courses. If a classroom-based course is not offered, an online class may be chosen if all its sections are offered as online only.
Submit this form each term after registration; only terms with enrollments are certified.

Do you plan to use VA benefits in your last semester at LMU? See the VA Rounding Out policy. The VA requires full-time standing in your last semester even if your degree program requires fewer units. The policy will explain this.

The FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) is not required to receive veteran’s benefits or for the Yellow Ribbon program. However, as a veteran, you may also apply for other forms of financial aid. Review our financial aid website for information on grants and scholarships for which you might qualify. See the details on how to apply.

LMU certifies the begin and end dates of its standard terms that are found in the Academic Calendars. Some programs and courses may begin before and end after the standard terms. If your course dates are different from the standard, you will need to state those dates in the option below.

Required and Elective Courses

LMU is authorized by the VA as a degree-granting institution. As such, it may certify courses which are explicitly required by the degree program. Most undergraduate programs allow for a determined amount of "free electives" which means you may take a course(s) not required by your curriculum. However, the course(s) must be used to meet the overall unit requirement for your degree.

How many units are you enrolled in? (Whole numbers only)

Repeat Courses

Courses identified in the bulletin as repeatable for credit are allowed by the VA.
The VA considers a repeat course to be one in which you did not earn the required minimum grade or failed.

Are you repeating a course to achieve the minimum passing grade?

List the original term(s) and name of the course(s)

Are you taking a course(s) which does not meet on campus?

If you are taking a course or internship which does not meet on the LMU campus, e.g., at a film studio or a business office, LMU must report to the VA the zip code in which your course takes place.

List all off-campus courses and zip codes (Ex: PROD 5001 - 95128; ENGL 4900 - 90036)

Do you wish to attend LMU Study Abroad this semester? (Available to Ch. 33 & Ch. 33YR recipients)

In addition to federal/state and LMU aid, veterans and dependents of veterans have the ability to use the Post 9/11 GI Bill (chapter 33/YR) for Study Abroad. The bill can be used to pay tuition for LMU-sponsored study abroad and faculty-led programs; in both programs, LMU courses are taught and LMU grades are assigned at the end of the term.

Disclaimer: It is the student's responsibility to understand their eligibility to use the GI Bill and coordinate the application of funds. Any amounts payable are reduced if the student is not eligible at the 100% payment tier.

N.B. The VA cannot pay any fees such as airline tickets and program fees specific to studying abroad at LMU as it does not have a degree program which requires study abroad.

Questions or Comments

Attach supporting documents (COE if not already submitted, any other relevant documents, etc)

I have read and agree to the Certification Policies.

I ask LMU to submit my degree required enrollments for me to the VA. I understand that LMU's submission does not imply I have benefits to use. The VA will deny my enrollment certification if I do not have benefits available.

I am responsible to pay LMU tuition, fees, and outstanding balances not paid by the VA.

I acknowledge and agree to my responsibilities and the enrollment certification policies.
