Certification

Certification is the process in which our office electronically submits your enrollment to the VA for processing and payment of your education benefits. Enrollment is reported to VA (certified) by our office based on eligible courses you are scheduled for. Ineligible courses include:

• Courses not required for your degree,
• Courses not approved by your advisor, and
• Courses that you have already received credit for.

Certification Request Form

After registering for classes, you will need to submit a completed Certification Request Form* to our office. Each semester our office will send a new form to continuing students via email (@louisiana.edu address) during advising week.

*These forms must be submitted each semester you intend to use your benefits. Renewal is not automatic. Suggested deadline for timely payment of benefits is 6-8 weeks before the start of each semester.

VA will notify you by email when our office submits your enrollment certification.
