Veteran Deferments

Students identified as having applied for veteran benefits will have their payment deadline extended until the final payment due date for a session within a term. By the final due date, veteran students will be dropped unless tuition is paid, student has provided the necessary paperwork to be identified as eligible for Chapter 33 benefits equal to or in excess of the tuition amount due, or student has applied for a veteran deferment.

Veteran students applying for veteran educational benefits are eligible for one 60 day deferment of tuition per academic year. For additional information, visit or download the brochure now:
