How to Start:
- Request your Certificate of Eligibility (COE) for your entitled benefit through the VA at www.va.gov/
- Complete registration with no expected changes prior to submitting an MVP Form for certification.
- The VA Certification Request is due immediately following registration. Applications will not be accepted after the last day of class for the semester for which you are applying. Note: Last class day (NOT the last day of finals).
- Sign onto MVP Forms with your eRaider ID and Password.
- Click one form per term for completion.
- Only the terms listed in each drop-down are available for certification.
- Specific Instructions are available within each form.
- Click on links within each form for Federal Checklists and under PDF Forms & Checklists below.
- Remember to upload requested supporting documents prior to form submission. Note: In MVP Forms, push SAVE before SUBMIT to view uploaded documents
- Click on PDF Forms & Checklists below to access forms not yet available on MVP Forms.
- MVP Students may fill out a Military Payment Plan Enrollment Request form and submit it to sbs@ttu.edu or submit it directly to SBS in 301 West Hall. This form will delay payment for tuition and fees only until the first payment plan deadline. Note: if you have Housing, meal plan or other charges, this form doesn't cover those so you must go ahead and make payment arrangements with SBS for those items immediately.
