VETERAN ADVISING

Amberton University has been approved by the Texas Veterans Commission to administer the Veterans’ Educational Benefits program. The Veterans’ Administration requires that each veteran receiving educational benefits be enrolled for courses that lead to a specific educational objective. A veteran may not receive benefits for courses that he/she has already received credit, for courses which are in excess of degree requirements, or for courses which do not apply to a degree. A customized financial cost worksheet and degree plan will be provided upon request.

For certification with Veterans Affairs, eligible students must submit a certificate of eligibility for entitlement to educational assistance and complete the “Veterans Information Form” (available on the Amberton University website or in the Student Services Office). The Veterans Information Form must be completed each session that benefits are requested.

It is the responsibility of the student receiving benefits to notify the Amberton University Veterans’ Official immediately if there are changes in his/her enrollment or personal information. In order to continue to be eligible for benefits, veteran students must maintain satisfactory academic progress. (See “Academic Performance of a Student” for further information regarding satisfactory academic progress.)

Student Grievance and Appeal

The formal process for resolving veteran student complaints is to follow the University Grievance & Appeal Policy.

A veteran student who feels that he/she has been improperly treated concerning finances, grading, registration, or any other student service, has the right to file a grievance to correct the wrong.

Additionally, a veteran student may also fill out a University Problem Resolution Form and return that form to BusOffice@amberton.edu.
