Is is the student’s responsibility to see that transcripts and military paperwork are received by Saint Leo University in a timely manner. The VA allows you to register for two terms while your paperwork is being received and processed. If all paperwork has not been received and processed by the third semester, your VA education benefits may be withheld until Saint Leo University can evaluate transfer credit and military training/experience.
The VA will not accept certification for courses that are not in your current degree program. If you have used your Veteran’s education benefits at another college/university, you must complete a Change of Program or Place of Training form.
