Veteran Information New Students Veterans and other eligible dependents receiving educational benefits under Chapter 30, 32, 34, 35, 1606, or Title 38 U.S.C., who have never used their VA educational benefits and would like to make application to use their benefits here at Washtenaw Community College should report to the Veteran Services Technician in the Enrollment Services Office prior to registering for classes to receive a packet of information. Students should bring certified copies of their DD-214 member 4 copy (military discharge papers) to WCC. Students in the selected reserve should bring their NOBE (notice of eligibility) form. Students who have prior educational training or military training must provide official transcripts with their application for benefits. Transfer Students Students who have previously received VA educational benefits at another school must complete VA form 1995 (Change of Place of Training) and submit it to the Veteran Services Technician in the Enrollment Services Office. The DD-214 member 4 copy (military discharge papers), transcripts from colleges or universities where the student has completed previous training, and all military transcripts must accompany the application. WCC Previously Enrolled Veterans Veterans who are continuing students must sign a request for certification at the time of registration each semester in order to be certified for benefits. At that time they must also supply the Veteran Services Technician with a copy of their completed registration to ensure the continuance of their benefits. Veteran Certification All veterans receiving educational benefits must sign a request for certification each semester once they register for classes. Any drops or changes made during the semester must be reported to the Veteran Services Technician immediately. Failure to do so may result in the delay of educational benefits. Credit for Formal Service School Experience Credit is granted for formal service school training as recommended by the American Council on Education (ACE) if it applies to the student's program of study at WCC. To have your formal training evaluated, submit an official military transcript to the Veteran Service Technician. Standards for Receiving Educational Benefits In compliance with the Department of Veteran Affairs, Circular 22-80-38, the College has developed standards of progress. Each veteran student must conform to these standards to be eligible for VA Educational Benefit Certification. Each veteran student must read, sign and return the original copy of these standards to the Veteran Services Technician at the time of benefit application. Try the Payment Plan Due to limited federal staffing, veterans' educational benefits are often delayed, sometimes until the semester ends. Enroll in the WCC student payment plan by the payment deadline to keep your classes. After you register, log into the WCC Billing and Payments System (also available from the "Log Into Billing & Payments" button on the homepage), then pick the payment plan tab and set up regular deductions from a bank account or credit card.
