As a veteran using your VA education benefits, you are responsible to notify the Fuller Certifying Officer immediately of any action affecting your enrollment status - drop, add, or a change of degree program. Failure to do so may result in termination of benefits.
You are also responsible for maintaining “Good Academic Progress” toward the completion of your degree program. To remain in good academic standing, you must have a 2.5 cumulative grade point average (GPA) for all course work. Grades which represent successful completion are A through C-, P (Pass), and SA (Satisfactory). Grades which do not represent successful completion are I (Incomplete), H (Hold), and F (Fail).
In the event that you fail to meet the standards for Satisfactory Academic Progress, you will be placed on academic probation. If your cumulative GPA falls below 2.0, you may be subject to academic dismissal.
Failure to meet the above standards within two consecutive terms of enrollment after being placed on probation will result in your loss of eligibility for VA benefits until you have regained good academic standing.
Each month that you are enrolled in classes you are required to verify your "status." Your enrollment can be verified on the last calendar day of the month by using the Web Automated Verification Enrollment (W.A.V.E.) or by calling the toll free Interactive Voice Response (IVR) telephone line at 1 (877) 823-2378.
If you become ineligible to receive your benefits you must notify Fuller Theological Seminary.
Fuller receives VA funds via Electronic Funds Transfer (ETF). If you received VA benefits for Post 9/11 (Chapter 33), Vocational Rehabilitation or Tuition Assistance, the VA will send your tuition and fees payment directly to Fuller’s Student Financial Services Office via EFT. You can monitor your student account each week to see if your VA money has arrived. If it has not by week 5 of the quarter you need to follow up with the VA.
For Chapter 30, Montgomery GI Bill recipient, the VA will send payment directly to you.
If you qualify for the Basic Allowance for Housing (BAH) it will be mailed directly to you or sent via direct deposit if you opted for it on your GI Bill application.
In most cases you will receive your benefits on a monthly basis. However, each month that you are enrolled in classes you are required to verify your "status." Your enrollment can be verified on the last calendar day of the month by using the Web Automated Verification Enrollment (W.A.V.E.) or by calling the toll free Interactive Voice Response (IVR) telephone line at 1 (877) 823-2378.
