COURSE APPLICABILITY FOR VA CERTIFICATION
Only credits that apply toward completion of the students degree program can be certified for VA purposes. Ex.: If 12
credit hours are certified, all 12 must apply. If a student enrolls for 12 credits but only 9 satisfy degree requirements,
only 9 credits will be certified. There are two exceptions to the rule.
The last semester before graduation, all credit hours taken can be certified if one or more of the credits satisfy a
graduation requirement. Last means last. There is only one last semester.
If a substitution is requested and approved for a degree requirement, VA will allow the substitution.
REPEATING COURSES
Courses that are failed or for which the grade does not meet minimum requirements for graduation may be
certified for VA purposes if they are repeated.
Courses that are successfully completed may not be certified for VA purposes if they are repeated. If students
choose to take additional courses to raise their GPA to graduate, the courses must not have already been
successfully
completed and can only be taken during the last semester.
