Your Responsibilities

It is your responsibility to be aware of and to fulfill all requirements for receipt of your Veterans benefits.

If you are using GI Bill Benefits at the University of Memphis, you should contact our office--Veterans Services--and submit all appropriate paperwork.

To continue receiving veterans educational benefits, the VA requires that you:

• attend class regularly
• make satisfactory academic progress
• adhere to a specific degree program

Reminders

             Why do I have to re-certify every semester?

2. Report credit allowed for prior training in cooperation with your advisor by completing a "Request for Evaluation of Prior Credit" form. This and other forms are available from our office.
