STATEMENT OF RESPONSIBILITY

“I understand that any changes in my educational status, i.e., adding or dropping courses will be reported to the VA by WVNCC. I also understand that it is also my responsibility to report these changes. Changes in my dependency status must also be reported.  All entries on this form are true to the best of my knowledge.”

CAUTION: A student who willfully submits a false report to obtain benefits under this law may be prosecuted, resulting in fine or imprisonment or both. 

It is the student’s responsibility to use the Degree Evaluation/Northern Navigator to see if their courses are covered under their program.  I have provided an email address for certification notification. 

By entering my name below, I acknowledge receipt of WVNCC Fact Form, that I have had all my questions and concerns answered, and have agreed to the above information.

IMPORTANT NOTES FOR ALL STUDENTS

VA benefits will not pay for courses not counted toward the graduation requirements of your appropriate catalog, audits or unnecessary repeats, and non-punitive grades (such as CEU classes; AW grades; and basic skills, remedial, or refresher courses not authorized by the college through the office of Veterans Affairs prior to registration). Chapter 1606 benefits do not pay for remedial coursework. Substitute classes must be submitted in writing to the Veterans Certifying Official prior to registration or they will not be eligible for VA funding. It is the responsibility of the student to follow up with the Records Office for graduation requirements for substitute classes.
