Students using any of these GI Bill® benefit chapters should visit www.va.gov for the latest information regarding eligibility. Once admitted, GI Bill® recipients must submit the Benefit Authorization Form along with the student’s Certificate of Eligibility. This form must be submitted each term before the student’s enrollment can be certified with VA. Students who have used GI Bill® Educational benefits at another school prior to attending Walsh must submit a Change of Program or Place of Training Form to VA by visiting www.va.gov.
A student attending another institution for approved college credit that will be applied toward a Walsh degree program may have courses at both colleges apply toward GI Bill® certification. Both school certifications are combined to equal the student’s full rate of pursuit. The student must notify veterans@walshcollege.edu to request a Parent School Letter be sent to the secondary educational institution. Certification of enrollment at the other institution will apply only toward courses within the student’s declared academic program at Walsh.
Once the student is admitted, registered, and has submitted all required documents (eligibility documents, Change of Program or Place of Training form, and Authorization form), the student’s enrollment will be certified with VA. Only courses that apply to the approved academic program at Walsh can be certified for educational benefits.
It is the responsibility of each student receiving GI Bill® educational benefits to notify veterans@walshcollege.edu of any changes in enrollment, program status, address, or benefits. A student receiving these benefits is expected to maintain the same standards of academic progress as all other students. Walsh is required to notify the VA when a student graduates or is dismissed. Walsh is required to report reductions in enrollment (drop or withdrawals) to VA. The date reported to VA will be the day the drop request was submitted to Walsh. Reductions reported could lead to an overpayment situation and a student debt to VA or Walsh. If mitigating circumstances exist (death in the family, illness or injury, or unavoidable changes in employment, military service, or childcare, etc.), notify veterans@walshcollege.edu.
VA will pay for courses that were not successfully completed and are required to be retaken for graduation. VA will not pay for courses that were successfully completed and retaken for a higher grade.
Students must notify veterans@walshcollege.edu when they have exhausted their GI Bill® benefits.
