4. Veterans' Benefits Financial benefits are available for veterans. For more information, please contact the veteran services.
世界十大博彩公司网站 is approved by the New Mexico Department of Veterans' Services State Approving Agency (GI Bill ®). Most 世界十大博彩公司网站 course offerings are approved and meet veteran’s educational assistance criteria under federal and state laws.
Tuition waivers are available for students who qualify for in-state tuition from out-of-state status under the various federal programs and state legislative action. For specific information, contact the VA Registrar.
VA benefits for qualified students are computed on full-time or part-time academic status. Full-time students are those who maintain twelve (12) or more credit hours throughout a 16-week semester.
Along with the application for Program of Education or Training, the student must include certified copies of discharge (DD-214) and, when applicable, original marriage license and birth certificates of children claimed as dependents. As with other 世界十大博彩公司网站 students, veterans who receive educational benefits through the VA are expected to perform at an acceptable academic level and attend each class session. Each semester, the faculty is made aware of veterans receiving education benefits. A student who does not satisfy faculty standards of attendance or course performance may be dropped from the class by the professor. When a veteran’s course load changes, VA will be informed immediately of the status change. The veteran will then be held liable for any over payment. Veterans are encouraged to take advantage of the available college counseling services. Each veteran is assigned a faculty advisor who provides guidance relative to program planning, scheduling, and other areas of academic progress. The services of a professional counselor are also available to the veteran through the college counseling office. The veteran who is experiencing academic difficulty is expected to take advantage of these services. For further information, visit or call the veterans assistance personnel in the Registrar’s Office.
- Prevent the student’s enrollment;
- Assess a late penalty fee to the student;
- Require the student to secure alternative or additional funding;
- Deny the student access to any resources (access to classes, libraries, or other institutional facilities) available to other students who have satisfied their tuition and fee bills to the institution.
- Produce the VA Certificate of Eligibility (COE) by the first day of class;
- Provide a written request to be certified;
- Provide additional information needed to properly certify the enrollment as described in other institutional policies.
