Veterans Affairs

NOVA's Veterans Affairs Office coordinates all veterans educational benefits from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs for the College. Information, counseling and certification of enrollment for veterans are available from each campus veterans advisor.

If you are a veteran or a veteran's dependent, you may be eligible for educational benefits from the Department of Veterans Affairs. You should contact your campus veterans advisor each semester to complete the necessary forms to establish and maintain your eligibility for benefits.

Full-time educational benefits are available to you if you are registering for and maintaining 12 or more credits in degree program courses. Three-quarter-time benefits are paid for 9 to 11 credits and half-time benefits are paid for 6 to 8 credits per semester. Active duty servicepersons and those registered for less than 6 credits are entitled to tuition reimbursement only. Certificate programs are measured differently for payment. Courses taken through the Extended Learning Institute (ELI) and accelerated courses are also measured differently. For more information, check out the Helpful Links box or contact your campus veterans advisor.
