The way in which their classes are scheduled can impact this benefit.  \n􀁸 At any given time in a semester, a student must be considered full‐time by the VA’s method of calculation in order to receive the maximum amount of VA benefit.  \n􀁸 When certifying a student’s enrollment, the VA requires the University to report start and end dates for each course (rather than general start and end dates for the semester) .  \nUNDERGRADUATE COURSE COMBINATIONS THAT WILL YIELD MAXIMUM VA BENEFIT:  \n1. Four full‐term courses (3 credit hours each), or a combination of full‐term courses that total at least 12 credit hours  \no At least one course must be in‐person  \n2. Two full‐term courses (3 credit hours each) plus two half‐term courses (one in the first half; one in the second half)  \no At least one full‐term course must be in‐person  \n3. One full‐term, in‐person course plus four half‐term courses (two in the first half; two in the second half)  \nUpdated: 9/3/2024 AS  \nWCB GRADUATE COURSE COMBINATIONS THAT WILL YIELD MAXIMUM VA BENEFIT:  \n1. Three full‐term courses (3 GR credit hours each)  \no At least one course must be in‐person  \n2. One full‐term, in‐person course (3 credit hours) plus two half‐term courses (one in the first half; one in the second half)  \n3. ONLINE MBA STUDENTS: If an online, full‐term course is not offered, then the student has the following options:  \no Register for two half‐term courses (one in the first half; one in the second half)  \ni. With this combination, the student will be at a 75% Rate of Pursuit and will receive 80% of their monthly stipend  \no Register for four half‐term courses (two in the first half; two in the second half)  \ni. With this combination, the student will be at a 100% Rate of Pursuit and will receive their full stipend each month  \nNOTES:  \n􀁸 This is meant to be a guide only; please direct students to their VA Benefits Advisor for a final review of their schedule once courses are selected.  \n􀁸 The VA pays a Monthly Housing Allowance to some students; the rate varies based on the mode of instruction.  \no If a student is taking at least one in‐person course throughout the semester, then they will receive the residential rate.  \no If a student is exclusively enrolled in online courses, then they will receive the online rate. The online rate is significantly less than the residential rate; therefore, if feasible, it benefits the student to take at least one full‐term, in‐person course.  \n􀁸 The examples provided are the minimum requirements to maximize a VA benefit; additional courses can be added in any combination.  \n􀁸 The structure of a student’s schedule will NOT impact the amount of tuition the VA will pay the  \nUniversity; if a student is not concerned about their personal VA stipend/housing allowance, these guidelines become less important.  \n􀁸 Please reach out with any questions: Amber Schutte  \nAssociate Director, Veteran and Military Family Center  \n[schuttea1@xavier.edu](schuttea1@xavier.edu)  \n513‐745‐3620  \nUpdated: 9/3/2024 AS","cbCaigT8N2wFbN0o","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaigT8N2wFbN0o","pdf",231303,"English","# Course Scheduling Guidelines for VA Beneficiaries\n## Full-time VA calculation and enrollment certification\n## Undergraduate course combinations for maximum VA benefit\n## Graduate course combinations for maximum VA benefit\n## Online MBA options and stipend impact\n## Notes and contact information","[{\"question\":\"Why does course scheduling matter for VA education benefits?\",\"answer\":\"The schedule determines how the VA calculates full-time status and therefore affects the monthly stipend/housing allowance amount.\"},{\"question\":\"What information must the university provide when certifying enrollment?\",\"answer\":\"The VA requires start and end dates for each course, rather than only general semester start and end dates.\"},{\"question\":\"What are the maximum-benefit course combinations for undergraduate students?\",\"answer\":\"Options include four full-term courses (at least 12 credits total) with at least one in-person course; two full-term plus two half-term courses with at least one in-person full-term; or one full-term in-person course plus four half-term courses.\"}]","Course Scheduling Guidelines for VA Beneficiaries - VA Students - Updated 9/3/2024 | PDF",1790656120]
