VA Pending Payment Compliance

For Post 9/11 GI Bill® (Ch 33) students and VA Veteran Readiness and Employment (Ch 31) students, our tuition policy complies with Title 38 USC 3679(e) which means Post 9/11 and Veteran Readiness and Employment students will not be charged or otherwise penalized due to a delay in Department of Veteran Affairs (DVA) direct tuition and fee payments.  For eligibility consideration, a Post 9/11 GI Bill student must submit a VA 'Certificate of Eligibility '(COE) or 'Statement of Benefits' from the DVA website: eBenefits, and a Veteran Readiness and Employment student must provide authorization from a Department of Veterans Affairs (DVA) Veteran Readiness and Employment Counselor.  While payment to the institution is pending from the VA, PHSC will not:

• Prevent the student's enrollment;
• Assess a late penalty fee to the student or VA;
• Require a student to secure alternative or additional funding;
• Deny the student access to any resources (access to classes, libraries or institutional facilities) available to other students who have satisfied their tuition and fee bills to the college.
