Veterans Benefits

Veterans Services

Veterans, service members, and their survivors and dependents may apply for their VA Educational Benefit Programs through the Office of Financial Aid and Veteran Services.

VA students must complete and submit a Request for Enrollment Certification form for each semester to receive their benefits. An advance payment of their benefits may be obtained, if eligible, by submitting their request form at least 30 days prior to the start of the enrollment period to be certified.

VA students receiving veteran benefits MUST submit a Student Educational Program Plan (SEPP) form for each semester to be certified. Please see an Academic Counselor for the completion of the SEPP form.

VA students must submit all of their official prior post-secondary transcripts (civilian and military) to be evaluated along with their second request form and MUST declare a program (major). Unless otherwise notified, all programs (majors) in the Fullerton College catalog are approved for the training of VA students.

NOTE: Transfer programs are approved contingent upon Fullerton College having current articulation agreements with the universities offering the transfer programs.

Fullerton College evaluates prior postsecondary education, experience, and training (civilian and military) prior to certifying third enrollment period and the appropriate credit is provided toward the declared program (major).
