NOTE: Veterans benefits are not paid on courses that you previously completed with a passing grade from NICC or another college.
You must provide the NICC Registrar’s Office with a copy of your official transcript for each college or university you have
previously attended. If the Registrar’s Office has not received transcripts prior to the end of your second semester of
enrollment at NICC, your benefits will be terminated until they are received.
In order to remain eligible for VA benefits, you must maintain satisfactory academic progress which means you must earn
a cumulative grade point average (GPA) of 2.00 or better and attend classes. If you do not attend on a regular basis or
quit attending class, possible termination of your benefits can occur. See the Academic & Attendance Policy for Students
Receiving Financial Aid in the Student Handbook. You will be responsible for any repayment of educational funds
you have already received if termination occurs because of withdrawal or non-attendance.
You will only be paid for those courses that meet degree requirements in the educational program on file with the
NICC Registrar’s Office.
Changes in your address, program of study, withdrawal from college, and adding/dropping courses must be
reported immediately.

INFORMATION FOR THOSE RECEIVING BENEFITS UNDER CHAPTER 33 POST 9/11
Tuition and Fees: Chapter 33 will pay a percentage of your tuition and fees to NICC for courses that meet degree
requirements in your educational program on file with the NICC Registrar’s Office. The percentage
is based on the time you spent on active duty after September 10, 2001. The percentage will
vary from 40 to 100 percent.
Housing Allowance: A Basic Housing Allowance (BAH) is payable to you, based on the college’s zip code, at the
following rates:
Full-time (12 or more credits) per enrollment period (VA calculates BAH based on the
actual start and end dates of courses, not semester dates)
Calmar: $1,233.00 Peosta: $1,380.00
Part-time (less than 12 credits) per enrollment period, based on rate of pursuit. For
example:
o 9 credits when 12 is full-time, rate of pursuit is .75 so you will receive 80 percent
of the above rate.
o 10 credits when 12 is full-time, rate of pursuit is .83 so you will receive 80 percent
of the above rate.
Online students, enrolled full-time solely in distance learning courses, based on one-half
of the national average BAH for an E-5 with dependents, will receive $894.50.
If you are currently on active duty, BAH will not be paid from Chapter 33 benefits.
Book Stipend: The book stipend will be paid to you at the beginning of each semester and will be based on your
benefit percentage and the number of credit hours you are enrolled in. Maximum allowance is
$1,000 per year paid out at $41.67 per credit for the first 24 credits.
If you withdraw from or stop attending classes, you will be required to pay back the tuition and fees for those classes to the
VA. DO NOT withdraw from any class or classes without talking to the Veterans Certifying Official.
The payment of tuition and fees is YOUR responsibility. You will not be allowed to register for
or attend any further semesters until all your financial obligations to the college for the
current semester are met.
By signing below, I understand my reporting and payment responsibilities under Chapter 33.
