Veterans

Biola University is approved as a degree-granting institution for the attendance of veterans under Title 38, United States Code. This includes the programs covered in chapters 30, 31, 33 and 35 of Title 38, relating also to the education of disabled veterans and war orphans, and 1606 of Title 10. The Department of Veterans Affairs has also authorized the university for the attendance of veterans and veterans' dependents.

Veterans or dependents of veterans who plan to enroll in the university are urged to contact the Military Educational Benefits Coordinator in the Office of the Registrar well in advance of enrollment so that the necessary arrangements may be made with the Veterans Benefits Administration.

Eligible students who have provided a current and valid certificate of eligibility for entitlement to educational assistance under chapter 31 or 33 of Title 38, United States Code will be considered to have met the tuition related portion of their down payment obligation to the university if/when their level of current certified eligible benefits will meet or exceed the total charges of their tuition and related fees. This provision will be valid for up to 90 days after the university has certified the student's tuition and fees with the US Department of Veterans Administration. Any late fees or penalties incurred by a certified student for failure to meet their required down payment obligation will be reversed for this 90 day period.
