I must verify my enrollment on the last day of every month to the VA in order to receive my monthly benefits
check. I can do this on www.gibill.va.gov and click on WAVE or by calling 1-887-823-2378.
I am responsible for paying my tuition & fees to HCC since VA education benefits will be sent directly to me. My
classes will be dropped if payment arrangements are not made with the cashier's office by the tuition due date.
Book stipends are sent directly from the VA Regional Office to me and may not arrive before classes begin.
I must be enrolled in at least 7 credit hours, with at least one of those credits in a face-to-face/hybrid format
for a 15 week semester to receive BAH.
In order for the Vets/Military office to put a hold on my account so my courses will not be dropped for non-
payment, I must submit completed Request for Certification Forms within 10 days of the drop each semester.
Tuition & fees are paid directly to HCC, by the VA, at the In-State rate only. Students are responsible for any
out-of-state difference. If not receiving 100% of the educational benefits I will be responsible for the balance.
The VA requires documentation of mitigating circumstances when you withdraw from a course after the
add/drop period. Mitigating circumstances are documented, unanticipated and unavoidable events that
interfere with the pursuit or completion of a course. Our office must be noticed immediately in the case of
mitigating circumstances at vetsmilitary@harford.edu.

I understand 12 credits are equivalent to full-time enrollment during the fall and spring semesters, and I
must remain in 12 credits for the entire 15 weeks of the semester to maintain full-time status. In addition,
summer and winter sessions are calculated by the VA Regional Office and they are based on a semester hour
equivalency (website for VA conversion tool: www.vets.gov)
_______
The VA Regional Office will be notified if I receive one of the following grades and I may incur a debt with the
Veterans Administration. If the VA warrants an overpayment based on the date of my last attendance, I will
receive a Notification of Debt which will state the amount to be paid back to the VA.
I understand Harford Community College is in no way responsible for any debt owed to the Veterans Affairs
Office for any courses that I stop attending, do not complete, or do not receive a passing grade.
