Overview

Detailed education program descriptions are available on the Veterans Affairs (VA) Education Benefits page.  If you feel you may be eligible for education benefits you should submit an application. VA will review your application and officially deny or grant benefits.

Walsh duties include:

  • Certifying students for required courses that apply to a bachelor, master, or doctoral degree program (courses meeting requirements for minors will be certifiable). Minors: A minor pursued as part of an approved major can be certified, even if the minor will require additional credit to graduate. Only courses required to complete the degree, including the minor, can be certified.
  • Working with students to ensure that overpayments are not created
  • Reporting adjustments of students’ credit hours
