Students wishing to use GI Bill benefits to supplement TA should ensure the "Check if VA Top-Up will be used" box is checked on their TA form prior to submitting to SBS. All documentation for VA benefits must be submitted through the Raiderlink as well.
IMPORTANT
Once Student Business Services has the tuition assistance voucher and Third-Party Agreement on file, they will place an estimated payment placeholder on the student's account based on the approved level of benefits.
It is the student's responsibility to notify their military service branch and SBS of schedule changes in circumstances where the military pays based on the student's class schedule.
Military students must pay any charges not covered by tuition assistance by the University's established due date to avoid late fees and holds for balances due.
