Office of Veteran Success at the Military and Veterans Success Center

If you are using VA benefits, have completed VA Works, and are planning to drop or change a class, please contact the Office of Veteran Services first and notify when changing a class; even during the “add/drop” period, unless you have not completed VA Works.

Only in some cases will you have to payback if you drop a class and your status changes from full-time to part-time. However, if you provide a VA reasons for withdrawal, you may be eligible for exemption. As for failing grades, they are not reported to the VA.

The VA will ONLY pay the benefits for a repeat course, if the student did not previously earn a sufficient grade to pass. Students who earned passing grades do not qualify. However, if a student repeats a course more than two times, USF will charge out-of-state tuition fees and the VA will not cover those costs.

You must complete and submit a Benefits Request for certification to the Office of Veteran Services for every semester you wish to receive education benefits. You cannot request benefits until after you have registered for your classes each semester. The process to certify classes is through VA Works.
