VA Educational Benefits
Post-9/11 GI Bill庐 - Chapter 33: After tuition certification, Veterans Affairs sends payment. These payments are posted by the Office of the Bursar. If there are multiple class start dates, multiple payments will be received. Late fees are suspended for the amount covered by Post 9/11 tuition benefits.
Charges certified for Post 9/11 payments include tuition, mandatory fees, class fees, and student health insurance. Nonresident tuition surcharge is not eligible for payment. Please visit Ohio Residency for Tuition Purposes for residency qualifications for fee purposes.
If there is an overpayment, a notice is sent to 91视频 and funds are returned. Overpayments can occur if a student withdraws, drops a course, did not complete a course, or received tuition specific credit (ie. Ohio College Opportunity Grant, GoArmyEd, employee fee waiver). Occasionally, a return of Post 9/11 payments can result in a balance due from the student.
Vocational Rehabilitation & Employment - Chapter 31: After tuition certification, the Department of Veterans Affairs is invoiced. While awaiting payment, a credit for tuition is applied to the student account.

Return of Unearned Military Tuition Assistance Funds
Military Tuition Assistance (TA) is awarded to a student under the assumption that the student will attend school for the period for which the assistance is awarded. If a student withdraws, the student may not be eligible for the full amount of TA funds awarded.
The amount of assistance earned is determined on a pro rata basis. For example, if you completed 30% of your payment period or period of enrollment, you earn 30% of the assistance you were originally scheduled to receive. Once you have completed more than 60% of the payment period or period of enrollment, you earn all the assistance that you were scheduled to receive for that period.
The TA eligibility will be calculated using the following formula:
Number of days completed/Total days of the course (start to end date) = Percent of TA earned
When a student officially withdraws from a course, the date of withdrawal will be used as the last date of attendance. If a student stops attending a class (unofficial withdrawal) the last date of attendance will be determined by the last date of activity within the course.
Adjustments for TA may result in an unpaid tuition balance. Payment for unpaid tuition is the responsibility of the student.
If a service member stops attending due to a military service obligation, 91视频 will work with the affected service member to identify solutions that will not result in a student debt for the returned portion.
