Veterans Benefit Programs

CCMU is approved by the Colorado State Approving Agency to accept Veterans Administration educational benefits for those who are eligible to participate, including the GI Bill®. GI Bill® is a registered trademark of the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). More information about education benefits offered by VA is available at the official U.S. government website at http://www.benefits.va.gov/gibill.

For students using Chapter 31 or 33 VA benefits, CCMU adheres to Section 103 of the Harry W. Colmery Veterans Educational Assistance Act of 2017.  Any covered individual is permitted to attend or participate in classes during the period beginning on the date on which the individual provides to the educational institution a certificate of eligibility for entitlement to educational assistance under chapter 31 or 33 (a certificate of eligibility can also include a “Statement of Benefits” obtained from the Department of Veteran Affairs (VA) website – eBenefits, or VA 28-1905 form for chapter 31 authorization purposes) and ending on the earlier of the following dates:

• • The date on which payment from V A is made to the institution,
  • 90 days after the date the institution certified tuition and fees following the receipt of the certificate of eligibility.

CCMU will not impose any penalty, including the assessment of late fees, the denial of access to classes, libraries, or other institutional facilities, or the requirement that a covered individual borrow additional funds, on any covered individual because of the individual’s inability to meet his or her financial obligations to the institution due to the delayed disbursement funding from VA under chapter 31 or 33.
