Important information regarding drop/adds
In order for your monthly verification and/or payment to be correct, you must notify the VA certifying official at the Financial Aid Office of any changes you make to your class schedule. Failure to do this may result in an under or over payment to you. If there is an over payment, you will be required to pay the money back to the Department of Veterans Affairs.
