Attendance

Recipients are paid by attending classes as scheduled. A student must notify the Veteran Affairs Specialist for any reason for absences. If a student withdraws from class, they must notify the Veteran Affairs Specialist immediately to avoid overpayment.

Students receiving either the Montgomery GI Bill® Active duty or Selected Reserve MUST also verify their enrollments monthly to receive payments. This verification can be done either by using the WEB Automated Verification of Enrollment (WAVE) application at www.gibill.va.gov or by using an automated telephone service (IVR) at 1-(877) 823-2378 and following the prompts.
Students receiving Post 9/11 GI Bill® are also required to verify their enrollment monthly. (Check the VA website (va.gov/education) for more information.)
Students are expected to attend and participate in class meetings.
Students who drop or withdraw from class must notify Mitchell’s Veteran Affairs Specialist of this change. MHA benefits may be reduced for the remainder of the semester.
Tuition for dropped classes may be required to be re-paid to Mitchell.
Veterans using education benefits who Withdraw or Fail all coursework are reported to Veteran’s Affairs (VA) using the Last Date of Attendance (LDA). The LDA will be used in calculating potential overpayments and the student veteran may incur a DEBT for MHA and tuition and repayment of funds to VA and/or Mitchell Community College will be required.
