About University Veterans Services
Confirm your education benefits
Each semester, you will need to confirm the benefits you wish to use. University Veteran Services will not certify you without confirmation you would like to use your benefits. It’s important to confirm as early as possible – waiting to do this can delay GI Bill® payments or financial aid awards.
