Veteran advance registration for Fall 2024 will be 8AM on Wednesday March 27th.  Eligible Veterans should make an appointment to meet with their academic advisor before the 27th and make sure ahead of time that they do not have any registration holds on their accounts that might prohibit registration.

If students are planning on using Federal Financial Aid for the 2024-2025 semester, and have not already completed their 2014-2025 FAFSA application, please do so as soon as possible.  Priority filing date for the 24/25 FAFSA is February 1 but VCU will continue to pull in applications up through the start of the term.

For Chapter 33 post 9/11 Gi Bill students

The VA will reach out each month to verify enrollment to keep sending monthly BAH payments. When you receive a text from the VA asking to confirm your enrollment, please be sure to send "Y" if you are still in classes. If you mark "N"... the VA will stop sending your monthly cost of living payments until your enrollment status can be verified.

If you have questions about the payment status for GI Bill benefits, please contact the VA at 888-GIBILL-1 (888-442-4551) for assistance. You can also visit us in person at 1015 Floyd Avenue, Room 3122 for further assistance.

For Chapter 1606 Benefits

Remember to verify your enrollment each month through the WAVE portal or by calling the VA at 888.442.4551.  Verification can be done the 1st of the following month... so August's verification can  be done Sept 1

Verification of enrollment letter  

If you need a verification of enrollment letter to keep your Tri-Care benefits or Mliitary ID card, please visit this this link at the VCU Records and Registration office to request your letter.  Please be sure to provide an "estimated graduation date" on your request as it is not automatically added and is needed by the VA.
