Withdrawals

As required by the VA, School Certifying Officials monitor student enrollment and report class withdrawals throughout the semester.

The VA will not pay benefits towards classes that students do not complete. Therefore, withdrawing from a class or classes may create a student debt to the VA. The VA may automatically reduce the debt amount for your first withdrawal while using VA education benefits. Subsequent withdrawals will incur the full debt amount.

Students who stop attending a class and do not formally withdraw may be reported as withdrawn by their professor at the end of the term. We are required to report this to the VA along with the reported last date of attendance for the class. Students who enrolled in classes but never attended will be assigned a grade of 鈥淣A鈥� by the professor at the end of the term, which is converted to a 鈥淲鈥� for their academic record. This withdrawal is then reported to the VA, with the day after drop/add as the date of the withdrawal.

Ch. 33 Post 9/11 and Ch. 31 VR&E students:

Please contact your School Certifying Official for withdrawal debt information and the required Withdrawal Permission form. You will not be able to withdraw from classes on your own.

The VA goes through the school to collect the tuition part of a withdrawal debt because those funds were paid to the school on your behalf. Once notified of the debt amount for tuition by the VA, the Bursar鈥檚 office will then email the student with the amount due.
