Veteran's Certification Request Form

Completion of this form authorizes SUNY Schenectady to provide required information, and to certify your enrollment at SUNY Schenectady, for the specified semester, to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). This form is required each semester.

It is your responsibility to keep the VA and SUNY Schenectady informed of changes in your contact information.

Enrollment Agreement*

I will report any registration changes (add, drop, withdrawal, etc.) and address/phone or course of study changes to the certifying official.

I understand any class changes could result in a delay of payments to me.

I understand that any kind of withdraw may result in reduced payment from the VA.

I understand that classes scheduled to meet for less than the normal semester term dates may be paid at a different rate based on the number of credits and the length of the class.

I understand that only courses which satisfy degree requirements will be certified.

I understand that if I fail to comply with the above, it can result in an over or underpayment of benefits. The VA will hold me responsible for overpayment of my education benefits.

You are encouraged to apply for Financial Aid, as the VA payments may not begin until after the semester has begun.

Please Note: The VA will certify claims in the order received. Omitted information can result in delays. My signature below indicates that I understand the above guidelines, and that I know I must complete a new Veterans Cetifcation Reuest form each semester for which I wish to receive benefits.
