The Department of Veteran Affairs and the Veterans Service office at Valencia Community College closely monitor each veteran student's enrollment status and academic program. Your monthly entitlement is based upon the number of credit hours for which a student is enrolled. To be eligible for your benefits you must:

1. Be degree seeking
2. Register only for courses which are required for completion of your selected degree
3. Complete and submit a certification request each semester to the V.A. Office on your campus. You may find this on your campus or Valencia's website where you will find our VA web page.
4. Notify the V.A. office of changes in your schedule, change of program and change of address.
5. You must maintain satisfactory progress.  This means it is expected that you complete at least 50% of your course work with a 2.0 GPA each semester.  Failure to meet these standards may cancel your VA benefits.
6. Be sure to make your tuition payment to the business office on your campus before the purge date. These dates are found in your Atlas account. Or inquire about a V.A. deferment for first time students.
