Continuing Students are students who used VA education benefits last semester and are planning on using them in the upcoming semester. If you are a continuing student, complete steps 1 and 2.

CMU does not automatically certify benefit recipients for each term. It is the student's responsibility to make sure they are certified every semester that they want to receive benefits.

A Veteran Enrollment Certification Request (VECR) eform is required for each term that a student wishes to use benefits — students will not be certified without it. Make this a priority to ensure that your benefits are paid on time. You can submit a VECR after you have registered for your classes. Late submissions are acceptable but payment may be delayed.

Please submit before the below dates.
Best practices: Submit 30 days before first day of semester.
                    Semester Attending          Open to submit VECR         Submit (no later than)
Spring Semester November 1st  January 1st
Spring with J-Term Semester November 1st December 1st
Summer Semester  April 1st May 1st
Fall Semester  June 15th August 1st

 

If you submit your VECR after the no later than date we will get you certified; however, your benefits may be delayed.

 Step 1: Register for Classes

***Remember The VA will only pay for classes on your degree works program sheet.***
If you need help registering for classes, make an appointment with Veteran Services.
Or schedule an appointment with your advisor (found on degree works) if you are unsure on which classes to sign up for.
