Enrollment Classification (38 cfr 21.42729g)*

*This only applies to 11 week courses at Walsh and the VA rate of pursuit. This does not apply to what Financial Aid or other institutions consider to be half or full time. If you receive financial aid, please contact a representative at finaid@walshcollege.edu to confirm your status. If you are certified at another institution for the same term, contact the SCO from that school to confirm your status.

Please inform a Walsh SCO if your benefits are exhausted. Failing to notify a SCO could result in an over-payment, which could possibly put you into debt with VA.

Payment Information:

• Students using the GI Bill® have a payment due date extension, which is the payment due date of the subsequent semester.
• If your benefits are exhausted within a semester, you will be notified that you have a balance due.
• Regardless of whether VA pays Walsh or you directly, please check your account regularly to make sure it is paid in full by the due date mentioned above.

You will only want to enroll in courses that are part of your approved program and are required for graduation.

• VA will pay for courses that were not successfully completed and must be repeated to graduate.
• VA will not pay for courses that were successfully completed and retaken for a higher grade (unless the higher grade is needed to graduate).
• Please inform a Walsh SCO of changes to your enrollment in writing and include the last date of attendance. Housing and tuition benefits are only paid for the days that you are enrolled in courses.
• If Walsh does not receive benefit payments for any reason, the student is responsible for all costs associated with admission and enrollment at the College. The student is also liable for all overpayments of benefits by the VA.
• Students using the GI Bill® have a payment due date extension which is the payment due date of the subsequent semester.
