Responsiblities of Veteran Students

Veteran students at Voorhees College have ongoing responsibilities to the Department of Veteran Affairs. The Department of Veteran Affairs and the Registrar's Office closely monitor each veteran student's enrollment status and academic program, primarily since the student's entitlement is based upon the number of credit hours for which a student is enrolled and any changes in academic program.

The FOLLOWING are EXPECTED OF ALL STUDENT VETERANS and DEPENDENTS each SEMESTER: 

VA certification is validated by the semester. You are required to submit Certification documentation to the Veterans Coordinator to ensure that you are certified. 
You must maintain satisfactory progress to retain benefits.
You are prohibited from receiving educational benefits for auditing a course.
You will not receive benefits for repeated courses, unless they are graduation requirements.
You must be formally admitted as a degree-seeking student after completing two quarters.
Register only for courses that are required for completion of your selected degree.
Do not register in courses for which you have previously received a passing grade/credit (even if taken at another institution). 
(Chapters 30, 1606, & 1607 only). Call the US Department of Veteran Affairs at 877-823-2378 monthly to process enrollment verification for payment.
