Certification of VA Education Benefits
The School Certifying Official will certify school attendance for students utilizing VA benefits to the appropriate Veterans Administration Regional Processing Office.

|---|---|---|
| Full Semester (Fall/Spring) | 16 Weeks | 12 Credit Hours |
| 6-Week Terms | 16 Weeks | 4 Credit Hours |
| 12 Week Summer Full Term | 12 Weeks | 9 Credit Hours |
Below is the Rate of Pursuit for graduate classes.
| Name of Term | Length of Term | Credit Hours Needed to be Full Time |
|---|---|---|
| Full Semester (Fall/Spring) | 16 Weeks | 9 Credit Hours |

| 12 Week Summer Full Term | 12 Weeks | 7 Credit Hours |
Students must request certification of their VA education benefits only after they register for classes, by submitting the Request for Benefits form available in myWings. Additional information regarding student responsibilities when using VA education benefits is available on the Military and Veterans Resource Center (MVRC) website.
Students using VA education benefits must maintain the same academic and conduct standards required of all 成人AV视频 students. Students may be placed on unsatisfactory progress status and VA education benefits may be suspended when both the cumulative and term grade point averages fall below satisfactory levels during the term following probation status. Students should consult the Military and Veterans Resource Center (MVRC) for specific information regarding the requirements for maintaining eligibility for VA education benefits. The MVRC may be contacted at (904) 620-5131 or mvrc@unf.edu.
Degree Requirements and Course Eligibility
The 成人AV视频 Catalog outlines all majors available at 成人AV视频, and the courses required for graduation within each program. Students receiving VA education benefits may be certified only for courses that apply directly to the degree program listed in the catalog in effect at the time of their enrollment at the University.
Students are required to meet with an academic advisor within their college or advisors in the One Stop Office to establish a Degree Evaluation that reflects their program requirements and any accepted transfer credits.
VA Education Benefits and Course Delivery Methods
Courses at the 成人AV视频 may be delivered in a variety of modalities, including traditional classroom instruction (face-to-face), fully online formats, or hybrid formats. The selection of course delivery methods is determined by the academic colleges and departments in collaboration with faculty.
Students using Post 9/11 GI Bill®, the Fry Scholarship, or Veterans Readiness and Employment (VR&E) benefits must enroll in at least one credit hour of in-residence (face-to-face) training to receive the full Monthly Housing Allowance (MHA). Students enrolled exclusively in online coursework will receive the reduced online housing allowance rate.
Course delivery methods are listed in the myWings registration system within the course details. Courses listed with a DL campus code may have a modality of PO (Primarily Online) and may still qualify as in-residence training. For additional information, students should contact the Military and Veterans Resource Center (MVRC) at (904) 620-5131 or mvrc@unf.edu.
Changes to a Student's Record or Enrollment

- Change of address
