The following is a variety of items that can specifically
affect the smooth continuation of you VA benefits, and
helpful hints of how to avoid payment problems & delays.
- ALL VA students that are degree seeking at
Cameron University must have a degree plan
drawn up by the Director of Veteran Affairs, Vicki
Henson. Appointments can be made by calling
581-2301, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., weekdays. The
VA requires the CU-VA to maintain a degree plan
for each student's educational objective. VA
degree plans are not official until approved by
CU-Admissions.
- If a degree plan is reviewed in the Veteran Affairs
Office, the student does not need to have a degree
plan from CU-Admissions.
- Degree plan appointments need to be done
AFTER ALL prior official college transcripts are in
the CU-Admission's Office. All transcripts must be
requested for VA purposes even if
CU-Admissions does not need them.
- Failure to have a degree plan properly drawn up
by the CU-VA during the first semester of pursuing
your VA stated educational objective can result in
a delay of payment. A degree plan must be done
before a person can be certified by CU-VA a
second time.
- If you have not had a VA degree plan completed
by Mrs. Henson, you will be certified as
PENDING by the CU-VA and the CU-VA office
can not check for applicability of courses
toward your VA degree plan. YOU are
RESPONSIBLE for making sure your classes
are required by your VA degree plan.
- Notify the CU-VA of All CHANGES in degree
plan pursuit selection.
- VA will not pay to repeat any courses that were
completed successfully. Letter grades of A, B, C,
and D are passing. Students will not be paid to
repeat a course successfully passed for academic
forgiveness or reprieve purposes! Exceptions:
Some courses require a specific minimum grade.
Check the University Catalog course description,
or the Teacher Certification Catalog.
