Remember, you will have to recertify for your VA benefits at the beginning of each semester through the Registrar's Office. Changes in enrollment, such as dropping courses, adding courses, or formally withdrawing from the University, must be submitted to the VA. VA regulations require veterans to pursue an educational objective, file a degree plan, regularly attend classes, and make satisfactory progress.

If you have questions or need help with the certification process, please contact the Military Benefits Specialist at Morgan Hall 102A (enter through the Admissions office) or (785) 670-2329.

Military Deployment Withdrawal

Students who are called to military active duty and must withdraw from classes as a result should contact the Military Transitions Coordinator or Veterans Certifying Official prior to deployment at militarybenefits@washburn.edu. The Vice President for Enrollment Management requires that the student submit a copy of the military orders and a written request to withdraw. Those items are forwarded to the University Registrar for complete withdrawal.
