Statement of Policy and Practice

In compliance with 38 USC 3679(e) as amended by the Veteran's Benefits and Transition Act  of 2018, IU Southeast allows covered individuals to attend or participate in the course of education beginning when it is scheduled to start per the published Schedule of Classes, without regard to whether they have presented a certificate of eligibility, statement of benefits, or VAF-28-1905. If certification to the Veteran's Administration (VA) reveals that an individual is not eligible for benefits either fully or partially, the Certifying Official works directly with the student and VA to resolve. 

IU Southeast does not impose any penalty, such as late fees, denial of accesss to classes, libraries, or classrooms; or mandate that covered individuals borrow additional monies, because of covered persons  inability to meet their financial obigations to the university due to delayed disbursement of funds from the VA under Chapters 31 or 33.
