Veterans Educational Benefits

Crafton Hills College is approved for the training of veterans and eligible dependents of deceased or disabled veterans.  After completing an application for admission, a veteran should complete all necessary forms in the Admissions and Records Office.

Veterans are required to choose a major and enroll in classes required for that major.  Failure to take proper classes may lead to reduction or termination of benefits.  Official transcripts from all previous schools and colleges must be submitted to Admissions and Records Office for evaluation before the end of the student’s first term of attendance.

The unit requirements (FALL and SPRING) for Chapter 30 (Montgomery GI Bill), for Chapter 33 (Post 9/11), or Chapter 35 (Dependents’ Educational Assistance), for Chapter 1606 (Montgomery GI Bill - Selected Reserve; Educational Assistance), for Chapter 1607 (REAP) are:

                Full-time....................... 12 units or more

            3/4 time....................... 9-11 1/2 units

            1/2 time....................... 6-8 1/2 units

            1/4 time....................... 3-5 1/2 units

Summer Session:  *Full-time is considered five units in a seven-week course, six units in an eight-week course or *four units in a six-week course.

Veterans taking short-term courses will be paid only for the actual enrollment period. If the veteran receives an “F” or “W” grade for non-attendance, he or she must repay the VA from the date he or she stopped attending the class.  In order to receive benefits, veterans and dependents must submit a Request for VA Benefits Form to the Admissions and Records Office at the beginning of each semester. It is the veteran’s responsibility to promptly notify the Admissions and Records Office of any change of program.

Veterans will be awarded seven units of credit for health and physical education (only for honorable discharge) by submitting a copy of their DD214 member 4 to the Admissions and Records Office.

Veterans on academic and/or progress probation for two consecutive semesters may not be certified for the following semester. Please see the assigned VA counselor for details.
