Key Sections


The information provided in the Military & Veteran Student Information portion of the catalog is partially based on the VA SCO Handbook and other VA policies which may be subject to change without notice depending on new government or DBU policies.

Specific examples used may not universally apply to all students’ circumstances/benefits.  Students with specific questions about their benefits should consult directly with VA Education (1-888-442-4551) or related Military benefit portal; however, the DBU VA School Certifying Officials (SCOs) are available to help act as a liaison between students and VA.
