Federal Certifications

It is best to have your paperwork in as soon as possible. If you cannot and it is less than a month before the start of the semester, you will need to fill out a Tuition Deferment form and enroll in the $1 payment plan. This gives you 60 days after the start of the semester for the VA to post your tuition (for Chapter 31 and 33 students) or for you to clear your bill (Chapter 30, 35, 1606, and Tuition Assistance).

To enact your GI Bill ®, Vocational Readiness and Employment, or Dependent Education Assistance benefits, submit the following items to the Veterans Resource Center:

• Certificate of Eligibility. 
  • Apply for benefits at the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. The VA takes between 4-6 weeks to send the Certificate of Eligibility.
• DD-214 (Veterans Only)
• Certification Request Form

Veterans must also submit the following paperwork to admissionsdata@sfasu.edu:    

• Joint Services transcript; or
• Community College of the Air Force transcripts
