United States' Veterans
Clemson University is approved by the Veterans Administration as a training
facility for eligible veterans, servicepersons, reservists, widows and children
of veterans. Eligibility and equivalent educational benefits are determined by
the Veterans Administration (VA).
The office of the certifying official coordinates the University's services to the students attending classes and
receiving veteran's educational benefits. The certifying official collects,
completes and processes the required substantiating documentation. In addition,
the certifying official offers information about services on campus to assist
with educational, career, personal and financial concerns. The office also
serves as a point-of-contact and direct liaison between the veteran, the
University and the Veterans Administration. The certifying official is not part
of the Veterans Administration, but an employee of Clemson University.
Applying for Benefits
Students may apply for educational benefits after being accepted to the University. Information
regarding eligibility, applications, and certification may be obtained from the
Veterans Administration (1-888-GI-BILL-1) or the certifying official at Clemson
University.
Upon receipt of all required documentation, the certifying
official will forward an Enrollment Certification to the Veterans Administration
Regional Office. No paperwork will automatically be prepared and forwarded to
the Veterans Administration for processing and payment without the student's
request.
General Information
-
The Veterans Administration Educational Benefits are paid on a monthly basis.
Students are required to pay the usual fees to the University at the time of
registration. The first benefit check will be received approximately six to
eight weeks after the first day of class.
-
Veterans Administration programs and policies and University services and procedures frequently change.
Students should maintain contact with the certifying official's office.
-
Students' enrollment will be certified by semester or session. Payment
should be continuous (including intervals between terms) if the students'
request is received at least 40 days before the next enrollment period and there
is not a break of 30 days or more between the semesters or sessions.
-
If a student withdraws from the University, drops a course that changes their
training time (see chart below), or changes their major, they should contact
this office about the necessary forms to complete.

Dropping the enrolled credit load below the minimums shown above may result
in a retroactive reduction in benefits and a debt to the VA. Several different
methods are used to collect over-payments. A statement of mitigating
circumstances and supportive documentation may need to be submitted to the
Veterans Administration.
Benefits will not be paid for audited courses
or courses that do not count toward graduation. Benefits will be discontinued if
you do not maintain satisfactory progress.
Students on Co-op assignments are not eligible for Veterans Administration educational benefits during the
semester or session they are working.
