Pre-Certification of Coursework

This is a courtesy offered by CF in which a veteran can submit his or her schedule for the upcoming semester, and, the college will submit the information to the VA for early processing. VETERANS ARE STRONGLY URGED TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF PRE-CERTIFICATION.

How does pre-certification help the veteran?

Initial processing of education benefits by the VA for the first-time user can be slow. Pre-certification reduces delays in the veteran receiving his or her eligible VA education benefits (housing or book stipend).
For returning veterans, pre-certification will help ensure there are no breaks in receiving education benefits due to delays of submitting the certification to the VA.

Once a pre-certification has been processed, no changes in enrollment status or course type (on campus or distance learning) will be made until the final certification after the drop/add period has ended unless directly requested by the veteran.

IMPORTANT: CF has no influence or control over the expediency of processing times by the VA.
