Veteran Deferments

Students identified as having applied for veteran benefits will have their payment deadline extended until the final payment due date for a session within a term. By the final due date, veteran students will be dropped unless tuition is paid, student has provided the necessary paperwork to be identified as eligible for Chapter 33 benefits equal to or in excess of the tuition amount due, or student has applied for a veteran deferment.

Veteran students applying for veteran educational benefits are eligible for one 60 day deferment of tuition per academic year. For additional information, visit tuition installment plans (TIPs) or download the brochure now:

Here’s what you need to know:

  • Students apply for the deferment in Connections.
  • Students must provide a credit/debit card or bank account number when applying.
  • Deferments are automatically drafted from the account provided on the due date of the deferment.
  • Students must pay for tuition within 60 days regardless of whether benefits are received.
  • Students who do not pay deferment may be disenrolled and certification to VA rescinded. This could create a debt for the student with VA and a loss of benefits until resolved.
  • Students fraudently providing bank information may be prohibited from receiving a deferment in subsequent academic years.
