Post-9/11 GI Bill;
In order to be certified with VA these steps need to be taken:
If you have never used benefits before: Chapter 33, 30, 1606, or 1607: Form 22-1990 (also attach a copy of your DD-214-member #4 or NOBE). If you apply for Chapter 33 (Post 9-11) VA will issue you a Certificate of Eligibility which includes the percentage of benefits for which you have been approved. If you are approved at 100% you may be eligible for the Yellow Ribbon Program. It is an agreement where the school and VA agree to pay a portion of tuition and fees above the annual cap. You can apply at www.gibill.va.gov or complete the 22-1990 and return to the VSO Office, unless you are applying for Chapter 33. VA has asked that all applications be submitted at www.gibill.va.gov.

To keep on track there are a few things that you need to know:

- Know what courses are required for your program.
Remember: VA will only pay for required courses within your program! - Full time benefits are equal to 12 or more credit hours for undergraduate students, and 9 or more hours for Graduate students within Fall or Spring terms.
- Summer programs are computed by VA by using the
following equation:
[Semester Hours] x 18 divided by [# of weeks in the term]
Contact the UNC Charlotte Certifying Official for more information.
VA students are responsible for payments of tuition, fees and books. VA payments are made directly to the student after classes begin. If there are any financial arrangements to be made, they should be made with The Office of Student Accounts at 704/687-5506 or studentaccount@uncc.edu.

Program changes (Change in Chapter
Benefits)::

***In-House enrollment forms must be filled out at least once a year. This provides our office with written documentation of your enrollment intentions. Failure to do this means you will not be certified by our office and, therefore, will receive no VA funding.***
If you are being called to active duty send us a copy of your orders and we will drop your classes. Any tuition and fees paid will be refunded. We will also notify the Financial Aid Office. By taking your parking decal to Auxiliary Services, you can receive a full refund. If you have a meal plan, refunds are as follows:
- Meal plans that have "meals" and "declining balance" (Plans A through E) are pro-rated and refunded to deployed students.
- Meal plans that are all "declining balance" (Plans F, G and K), the remaining balance is refunded.
- Money deposited in 49er accounts, the remaining balance is refunded.
