IMPORTANT NOTES:
The VA will only pay for those courses required for your degree completion. It is your responsibility to see an
Academic Advisor concerning any questions you may have about your program or specific courses you plan to take.
Do not enroll in any audit, refresher, or repeat course, or declare a double major without consulting the Department
of Veteran Affairs. If “Z”, “NZ”, or “W” grades are received, hours will be reduced and the VA will be notified as of the
last day of attendance for the course.
By my signature below, I hereby agree to the following conditions:
If I am not eligible for the maximum eligibility, I must arrange payment no later than 30 days after the start of
the first class. It is my responsibility to make payment in accordance with the University’s tuition payment
policies.
If enrollment is terminated for any reason, the unpaid balance of tuition and fees is due immediately.
If I drop my class prior to the start date or I am dropped for non-attendance, I understand that any funds
received for tuition will be returned to the VA directly.
If I drop my classes any time on or after the start date, which creates a credit, I understand the funds will be
refunded to me and I am responsible for contacting the VA immediately to clear up any overpayment issues.
If I am using the National Guard Scholarship in conjunction with Post-9/11 GI Bill, it is not to exceed 100% of my
tuition. Franklin will apply the National Guard Scholarship first, then reduce Post- 9/11 GI Bill funds to cover the
remaining balance.
If I am using Federal Military Tuition Assistance in conjunction with Post- 9/11 GI Bill, it is not to exceed 100% of
my tuition. Franklin will apply any Federal Military Tuition Assistance first, then apply Post- 9/11 GI Bill funds to
cover and remaining balances.
If I am receiving any Financial Aid that is for tuition only in conjunction with Post- 9/11 GI Bill, it is not to exceed
100% of my tuition. Franklin will apply any tuition-only Financial Aid, then apply Post- 9/11 GI Bill funds to cover
any remaining balance.
I acknowledge and accept responsibility for all debts owed to Franklin University under the terms and conditions
stated herein, and agree my signature below is evidence I have read, understood, and agree to the terms and
conditions stated herein and have received a copy of the agreement.
