Undeclared Majors
Students are prohibited from using VA benefits beyond their sophomore year in an undeclared major. Undeclared majors include pre-nursing, pre-business, undeclared engineering, and undecided engineering. Please review your major and class standing and reach out to Academic Advising if this requirement affects you.
Non-Degree Students
VA defines matriculated as having been formally admitted to a college or university as a degree-seeking student. VA educational benefits cannot be paid to non-matriculated college or university students unless they are pending admission to your school. In that case they can be certified for two quarters or semesters. This is typically only an option for graduate students. The only courses that can be certified are those required for admission and those required if admitted. Additional information can be found in Title 38 CFR 21.4252.
