We would like to take this opportunity to thank you for the contributions you have made to our country while serving in the Armed Forces. The College for Creative Studies is committed to our veterans and their eligible dependents. While transitioning back into civilian and college life, let us help you with many of the opportunities and challenges that you may face, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At the service member\u2019s request, we will also:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Eligibility for benefits is determined solely by the Veterans Administration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tuition payments are sent directly to CCS for Chapter 31 (Vocational Rehabilitation) and Chapter 33 (Post-9\/11 GI Bill & Yellow Ribbon). Please keep in mind if your Chapter 33 benefits are less than 100% you are responsible for the remaining balance. Under all other programs, students receive funds from the VA and are responsible for paying their own tuition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you are claiming benefits under Chapters 30, 1606, or 1607, you must verify your enrollment on the last calendar day of each month. Verification can be made online through WAVE<\/a> at www.gibill.va.gov<\/a> or by phone through the Interactive Voice Response (IVR) at 1-877-823-2378<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If eligible, the monthly housing allowance is paid directly to you. Students receiving benefits under Chapter 33 must be enrolled more than half-time (6 credit hours) to receive the housing allowance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If eligible, the book stipend (this includes art supplies) is paid directly to you. The stipend is based on your enrollment and is paid once per term ($41.67 per credit hour up to $1000\/year).<\/p>\n\n\n\n CCS participates in the Yellow Ribbon Program<\/a>. The Yellow Ribbon GI Education Enhancement Program (Yellow Ribbon Program) is a provision of the Post-9\/11 Veterans Educational Assistance Act of 2008. This program allows institutions of higher learning (degree granting institutions) in the United States to voluntarily enter into an agreement with the VA to fund tuition expenses that exceed either the annual maximum cap for private institutions or the resident tuition and fees for a public institution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n New Students applying for Veteran benefits for the first time, need to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you have used your VA benefits at another institution, you will need to transfer your VA benefits:<\/p>\n\n\n\n All VA Students need to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n The SCO monitors your academic progress and notifies the VA Regional Office of any withdrawals from classes or other changes in your status. Class attendance and completion is required for students receiving VA benefits. The VA only pays for courses a student completes. Lack of attendance or completion of any course could affect your benefits and create a debt with the VA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs will be notified of any student who is placed on probation or suspended from CCS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Department of Veteran Affairs will pay for a student to repeat a course if the original grade received was a 0.0 or if the grade received does not meet the minimum requirement for graduation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The College’s refund policy<\/a> for tuition and fees for students who drop a course(s) or withdraw from the College can be found in CCS Policy Database.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Veterans receiving assistance under Chapter 31 or 33 will not incur any penalties, including the assessment of late fees, the denial of access to classes, libraries, or other institutional facilities, or the requirement that a covered individual borrow additional funds, on any covered individual because of the individual\u2019s inability to meet his or her financial obligations to the institution due to the delayed disbursement funding from VA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Questions regarding veteran and military assistance may be directed to the VA School Certifying Official, Thomas Turoczi, tturoczi@ccsdetroit.edu<\/a> or via phone at 313-664-7832.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" We would like to take this opportunity to thank
