Veterans
Veterans who have earned college credit in one of the programs of the United States Armed Forces Institute should request a transcript to be sent to the registrar. Such credit may be accepted by the University of Jamestown in accordance with the University’s general policy governing correspondence study.
One semester credit of physical education activity is granted for each six-month period of military service up to a maximum of four semester credits with the stipulation that such credit may not be used to satisfy requirements for a major or a minor in physical education. All students receiving VA benefits must provide the institution with a certificate of eligibility (COE) or a statement of benefits from the VA. Once the student provides the institution with the COE or statement of benefits from the VA, the student will be allowed to attend and participate in all academic activity without fulfilling their financial obligation to the institution. Students waiting for VA benefits will not receive penalties from the institution such as late fees, denial of access to classes or denial of any campus facilities or services due to an outstanding bill. The institution will not require VA students waiting for benefits to borrow any additional funds to fulfill their financial obligation. This policy is in effect until the date the VA pays the student or until 90 days after the institution certifies tuition and fees for the student whichever is earlier.
