Military Education Benefits

If you intend to use any military or veteran's benefits to pay for all or part of your educational expenses, please follow this link to complete this form.

If you plan on using Chapter 33 Post 911 benefits,  you will also need to request from the VA a Certificate of Eligibility and turn a copy in to the Office of Student Financial Planning prior to enrolling. If you are an active duty service member and plan on using Tuition Assistance to pay for your charges, you will need to have your classes approved by the branch of service you are enlisted with prior to registering each term. 

Prior Learning Assessment (PLA)

Military veterans have the option to take Prior Learning Assessment (PLA) course in place of an existing graduate-level course towards your degree program. The PLA courses require you to create portfolios that demonstrate prior learning through a self-paced, online learning platform. PLA not only saves you time and money but respects the vast and unique experiences your military background has to offer.
