Veterans’ Benefits
Stevenson University is approved by the Maryland Higher Education Commission for the training of veterans under the Veterans Readjustment Benefits Act of 1966, Public Law 89-358.
A veteran desiring to determine eligibility under any of the VA chapters may obtain information and an application at How to apply for VA benefits. After the veteran has received the Certificate of Eligibility, the student should contact the School Certifying Official (SCO) in the Registrar’s Office at veteransbenefits@stevenson.edu to request certification of enrollment. The veteran will email the SCO their Certificate of Eligibility. Each semester, veterans should complete the Declaration of Intent. This form is available through the Student Menu in WebXpress under forms link. Submission of the form signals the student’s intent to receive veterans' benefits for the upcoming semester.
If a student who receives VA benefits changes their enrollment status (dropping, adding, or withdrawing from a course) it can impact those benefits. It is critical that the student contact the SCO in the Registrar's Office to determine the impact, if any, of these changes. Please note: the VA does not pay for grades of “FX.” FX grades are assigned when a student stops attending classes prior to the withdrawal deadline, yet fails to officially withdraw. Students who do not attend classes and are awarded grades of "FX" will be reported to the VA and will be required to repay benefits to the VA and Stevenson University.
