Office of Veterans Affairs
Use VA Benefits at SUBR
Step 1: Apply for your benefit online via VA.gov
• Form 22-1990 for Veterans of all Chapters (33, 30, 1607, [1606 – Notice of Basic Eligibility (NOBE) is required])
• Form 22-1990E for Dependents and Spouses using Ch. 33 Post 9/11 GI Bill® Transfer of Entitlement
• Form 22-5490 for Dependents and Spouses using Ch. 35 DEA: Dependents’ Educational Assistance Program
After 4-6 weeks, the VA will mail you a Certificate of Eligibility (COE) stating that you have been awarded an educational benefit. Our office requires a copy of this document before we can process your benefits.
If you are Ch. 31 VR&E, your counselor will need to send our office your Purchasing Order (PO).
Step 2: Register with the VA
Create an account on the VA.gov. This is where you will go to check your VA deposits, view your certification status history and remaining months of benefit, set up direct deposit, or update your address.
Step 3: Enroll in Classes
Our office can certify your enrollment only after your courses have been added to your schedule. Please do not submit a request until your schedule is complete.
Step 4: Request Enrollment Certification from SUBR Department of Veterans Affairs
Once your schedule is finalized and you have registered for your courses, you may complete the SUBR Enrollment Certification Form, https://www.subr.edu/page/registrars-office-veterans-affairs-forms. Check to be sure all areas have been addressed correctly before submitting. You must complete a new SUBR Enrollment Certification Request form for each semester you plan to use VA Educational Benefits. Please allow up to 30 days for processing your benefits.
Step 5: Complete Registration
Once your benefits are applied to your account, you must complete your registration on your Banner account to secure your schedule. If you do not complete your registration by the end of the semester, then your classes will be purged.
Tuition Assistance (TA)
Based on your active military or veteran status, you may be eligible for Tuition Assistance (TA), which would allow your armed service to cover up to 100% of your SUBR tuition.
Each service has its own eligibility criteria. Please contact your service's Educational Service Officer (ESO) or counselor before enrolling at SUBR to determine your eligibility.
