Once you have received notice from the Department of Veterans Affairs that you are approved to use VA Education Benefits, submit the following items to WSU Veterans Services:
- Intent to Enroll Form: All students must submit this form (see Forms page to print form for correct academic term).
- Certificate of Eligibility form provided by the Department of Veterans Affairs, needed for all chapters.
- If you are transferring your benefits from another school to WSU, please complete a Change of Place of Training VA Form (all Chapters except 35, use 22-1995. Chapter 35 students only, use 22-5495). Please submit a copy of this form to WSU Veterans Services.
Students will need to meet with their Academic Advisor to complete the Enrollment Certification Request Form and submit the completed form for certification of your enrollment for the use of your VA education benefits. This must be done each semester you are wanting to use your educational benefits; if you make any changes to your enrollment after your enrollment has been certified, you must submit a new Enrollment Certification Request form for recertification.
If you have any questions regarding the benefit application process, or what is needed in order for your enrollment to be certified, please contact WSU Veterans Services. You can reach us by phone at (316) 978-3547, in person in Grace Wilkie Hall, room 105, or by email to Veterans.Services@wichita.edu.
