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 student is responsible for resolving any financial debts to the school. Students must submit an in-house worksheet each semester they are requesting certification with the VA, found at https://one.iu.edu/task/iu/request-gi-bill-certification.

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