Manage Your Benefits
Managing your benefits can be difficult, but it’s important to stay on top of it. The Veterans Resource Office (VRO) is a valuable resource to help you navigate the VA and the other educational assistance programs.
Use this checklist to claim the benefits you’ve earned.
Current Student Checklist
Semester Enrollment
- This is the Class Certification/Veterans Progress Form that is required by VA for each semester you want to use your education benefits. Complete this form after registering for classes. We are unable to certify your benefits without this form.
Update Information
- Change of Program Request — Required for students seeking to change their declared major or program of study. Learn more about the requirements for changing your GI Bill® program.
