Continuing Your Benefits
Continue your benefits each term.
An Enrollment Certification Request form must be completed each semester on the student’s RAMweb by navigating to Menu > Records > MilVet Portal > select semester in the dropdown > “Use my benefit” button. The form is sent to School Certifying Officials (SCOs) once the form is completed.
Need to receive benefits while attending another school?
To receive benefits while
attending another school, many factors must be considered.
- The student must have a declared major.
- The student must have submitted an enrollment certification request in their
MilVet Portal in RAMweb if they are a CSU student. If they are not a CSU student, the student must work with their home school and ask them to send
a VA Parent Letter to [email protected]. - Each course taken by CSU students at the other school must be listed on the Supplemental
Enrollment Information Form, show what CSU course it will transfer back as, and the CSU course being replaced must still show as unmet and still required in the student’s DARS. - The Supplemental Enrollment Information Form must be emailed by the student’s CSU academic advisor to [email protected].
- The student must be attending the courses at another school, not via a study abroad company.
- Many US-based schools have their own VA approval and will certify after they receive your VA Parent Letter from CSU SCOs with the courses listed as approved. CSU SCOs will send VA Parent Letters to the other US-based schools after receiving the Supplemental Enrollment Information Form from your CSU academic advisor.
- If the student is attending a foreign school, the student must sign the appropriate Study Abroad agreement from CSU SCOs in addition to the requirements listed above. SCOs must determine whether CSU or the other school will certify any possible enrollment to VA. Any certifiable foreign school enrollment that is reported by CSU has a maximum tuition and fees based on what the student would have been charged if attending the same courses at CSU’s main campus. The maximum cap is set by US Congress.
- No
Education Abroad fees or Study Abroad Program fees are ever billable to VA
for majors that do not require that you study abroad. - No
travel, housing, meals, visas, immunizations, or any travel-related costs
are ever billable to VA. - All courses must be required for the student’s declared program of study at their home school. Any course changes must always be evaluated prior to the newer course(s) certification to VA.
