To determine eligibility for benefits, students must apply online on the VA website at www.gibill.va.gov. You must be enrolled for classes at UC Hastings before the Records Office can certify your enrollment to VAOnce.
After you have completed and submitted the form online, the Department of Veteran Affairs will send you a Certificate of Eligibility letter. Upon receipt of this letter, please send a copy of the Certificate of Eligibility to the Registrar's Office.
Items Checklist: (The following paperwork must be submitted to the appropriate office before the certification process can begin.)
***NOTE***Anytime you change your units, whether it is an increase or decrease in status, it is your responsibility to let the Registrar's office know. Failure to do so will result in overpayment or underpayment for your benefits. If you promptly notify the school and the VA of these changes, you can prevent or reduce overpayments. |
