Every semester, you will need to submit your schedule and complete the VA Certification Agreement Form. Once you are certified, you will receive a confirmation email directly from the VA, and your NCCU account will be flagged so that Student Accounting knows you have third-party funds coming in. You must have a previous balance of less than $500 to have your account flagged for the upcoming semester.
Each chapter of the GI Bill receives a different amount for the monthly stipend. That amount is determined through the GI Bill Comparison Tool (https://www.va.gov/gi-bill-comparison-tool/). Stipends are paid a month in arrears on the first of every month. If that particular month is not a full month, the VA will prorate the amount based on the number of days of class in that month.
You will need to complete the form through goarmyed at least 5 days before the first day of class for the semester. If it is not submitted in time, the Army may deny your benefits. Tuition Assistance is processed by Student Accounting and the Registrar.
ROTC is handled by a separate office. You will need to contact them directly at 919-530-7195.
No chapter of the GI Bill covers room and board; you will need outside funding or financial aid to cover these charges. Chapter 33 pays in-state tuition and fees only directly to the school. Chapter 31 (Vocational Rehabilitation) covers in-state or out-of-state tuition and fees and is paid directly to the school towards mid-semester. All other chapters only receive a stipend that is paid directly to the student.
You may "Ask a Question" through the VA’s online portal or call them at 1-888-442-4551.
Refunds are processed by Student Accounting.
You will need to request your Joint Service Transcript through https://jst.doded.mil/. It will be electronically submitted to NCCU. Once it has been received, you will receive 2 credits for Health and 2 credits for Fitness.
NCCU allows for veterans to receive 60 community service hours. You will need to log in to myEOL, click on "Get Connected," and use the University login.
From there, you will go to "Opportunities" and search "NCCU Military Honorary Service Hours." Click on it once you find it, respond and submit your response. Click on your dashboard and then click on the hourglass to add the 60 hours. A notification will be sent to the NCCU Veterans Affairs Office so your hours can be approved.
If you have been awarded the scholarship, NCCU Veterans Affairs will receive a copy of your award letter, or a transfer letter from another institution, from the North Carolina Department of Military and Veterans Affairs. Your NCCU account will be flagged so that Student Accounting knows you have third-party funds coming in. Scholarship funds are not posted to students’ bills until mid-semester, so financial aid or outside funding may be needed to purchase books and supplies.
