Veteran Information
New Students
Veterans and other eligible dependents receiving educational benefits under Chapter 30, 32, 34, 35, 1606, or
Title 38 U.S.C., who have never used their VA educational benefits and would like to make application to use
their benefits here at Washtenaw Community College should report to the Veteran Services Technician in the Enrollment Services Office prior to registering for classes to receive a packet of information. Students should bring
certified copies of their DD-214 member 4 copy (military discharge papers) to WCC. Students in the selected
reserve should bring their NOBE (notice of eligibility) form. Students who have prior educational training or
military training must provide official transcripts with their application for benefits.
Transfer Students
Students who have previously received VA educational benefits at another school must complete VA form 1995 (Change
of Place of Training) and submit it to the Veteran Services Technician in the Enrollment Services Office. The DD-214
member 4 copy (military discharge papers), transcripts from colleges or universities where the student has completed
previous training, and all military transcripts must accompany the application.
WCC Previously Enrolled Veterans
Veterans who are continuing students must sign a request for certification at the time of registration each semester
in order to be certified for benefits. At that time they must also supply the Veteran Services Technician with a
copy of their completed registration to ensure the continuance of their benefits.
Veteran Certification
All veterans receiving educational benefits must sign a request for certification each semester once they register for
classes. Any drops or changes made during the semester must be reported to the Veteran Services Technician immediately.
Failure to do so may result in the delay of educational benefits.
Credit for Formal Service School Experience
Credit is granted for formal service school training as recommended by the American Council on Education (ACE) if it
applies to the student's program of study at WCC. To have your formal training evaluated, submit an official military
transcript to the Veteran Service Technician.
Standards for Receiving Educational Benefits
In compliance with the Department of Veteran Affairs, Circular 22-80-38, the College has developed standards of
progress. Each veteran student must conform to these standards to be eligible for VA Educational Benefit Certification.
Each veteran student must read, sign and return the original copy of these standards to the Veteran Services
Technician at the time of benefit application.
