Veterans Educational Benefits
Veterans in Chapters 30, 31, 32, 33 (both Yellow Ribbon & non-Yellow Ribbon), 35, 1606 & 1607 who need an enrollment certification sent to the Veterans Administration should complete the Veteran Benefit Information and Application Form (for first time requests). Your quarterly certifications will be reported based on the number of units in which you are enrolled. Additionally, any student receiving benefits under a public law should be aware that missing, incomplete, or unsatisfactory course grades must be reported to the Veterans Administration by the University Registrar and could result in the loss of benefits.
The University of Chicago is participating in the educational initiative for post-9/11 servicemen and women in partnership with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, called the Yellow Ribbon Education Enhancement Program. The Yellow Ribbon Program is part of the Post-9/11 Veterans Educational Assistance Act of 2008 (commonly known as Chapter 33).
