Veterans and others who are eligible for education benefits must contact the Coordinator of Military Services. Veterans are assisted in obtaining benefits for their selected benefit programs and in providing certification to the Veterans Administration.
Cowley College is approved for Veterans Administration training. Prospective students who are eligible for veterans’ benefits should file the proper forms with the VA to establish their eligibility. Each semester, Cowley College requires veterans to complete the Request for Certification. Veterans who terminate college, withdraw from, or add classes during the semester should make certain that the Coordinator of Military Services is notified immediately. The veteran is responsible for providing the Coordinator of Military Services with complete information regarding current enrollment status. Failure to follow the adopted procedures of the VA or the college may result in the VA seeking financial recoupment from the veteran.
