VA Education Benefit Student Progress

VA education benefit students are certified only for courses that apply to their declared program. If you are eligible to receive Veterans Administration (VA) education benefits, you will be subject to the same Academic Progress rules outlined by RRCC, including probation and suspension. If you are suspended, RRCC is obligated to notify the VA of unsatisfactory progress. When you are ready to continue with your VA education benefits you will need to reapply for the benefit through www.va.gov.

Because credit is not given for audited courses, they are not eligible for certification. If you stop attending, but do not officially drop or withdraw from the course, you are considered "non-attending." You may be dropped administratively, and your benefit certification adjusted accordingly. These actions can result in you owing money to VA and/or RRCC.

Prior Credit Review Policy

The evaluation of previous postsecondary education and training is mandatory and required for VA education beneficiaries. For students utilizing VA education benefits who are approved for transfer credit as a result of this evaluation, the institution will grant appropriate credits, reduce the program length proportionately, notify the student of this decision, and adjust invoicing to the VA accordingly. The student must follow the transfer credit evaluation process.
