Enrollment Certification

About Enrollment Certification

Enrollment is certified at the start of the semester by the VA school certifying official for all chapters. Changes to enrollment (add/drop and/or withdrawals) are reported monthly.

Petitions for In-state Residency

Students have until 30 days after the first day of class of the semester they are trying to get in-state tuition to appeal their tuition classification. If approved, the change is not retroactive to prior semesters.

Fall Semester – Aug. 1
Spring Semester – Dec. 1
Summer Semester – May 1
