VETERAN AFFAIRS: CHANGE IN COURSE LOAD OR SEMESTER CREDIT HOURS

Veterans receive a monthly allowance based on their student status. In order to receive maximum benefits , a
student must be considered at full-time status which requires a minimum of twelve credit hours per semester.
Graduate students need only six credit hours for full-time status. Full or part-time status varies for summer
session. Should a student drop a course or otherwise reduce their credit hours, they must inform the Office
of Veterans Affairs and the Office of Student Financial Aid IMMEDIATELY and complete the necessary
forms in order to avoid an over - payment of benefits which will have to be paid back to the Veterans
Administration.
