Students who meet the definition of a “veteran” may be eligible for Veterans Administration (VA) benefits. Students wishing to receive VA benefits at an approved site should contact the Registrar’s Office before the time of registration in order to complete the necessary paperwork.

The VA requires all entering veterans to be formally admitted to the University before becoming eligible to receive VA benefits. All prior transcripts and military documents must be received and evaluated by the Office of the Registrar prior to the second semester of attendance. Once veterans have been admitted and evaluated, they must notify the certifying official at the University each term or semester of enrollment.

To maintain eligibility, veterans must successfully complete all units enrolled. Veterans who fail to maintain Satisfactory Academic Progress for two semesters (or three terms) will be disqualified
and will have their benefits terminated.

Yellow Ribbon

The Yellow Ribbon Program is part of the Post-9/11 GI Bill® for veterans or their dependents who are eligible for 100% benefits. It helps fund tuition and fees that exceed the amount covered by the basic Post-9/11 benefits. Awards are determined by Veteran Affairs (VA) guidelines and the University of La Verne Annual Yellow Ribbon Agreement with the VA.
