Classes That Do Not Meet the Entire Length of the Term
While most classes at Chemeketa begin the first week of the term and end the last week of the term, some classes do not. These shorter classes have the potential to reduce the amount of benefits you receive. If one or more of your classes meet less than the full length of the term, VA regulations require that the actual beginning and ending dates of the class must be reported when your benefits are certified each term.
As an example, during a fall term that begins September 28th and ends December 12th, if you take –
- A4 credit science class
- A 4 credit math course
- A 3 credit writing class
- A 1 credit keyboarding class that begins October 5th and ends November 13th
You will be certified at the 3/4 time rate (9-11 credits) from September 28th until October 4th, certified at the full-time rate from October 5th until November 13th, and then at the 3/4 time rate from November 14th until the end of the term on December 12th.
If you have questions regarding classes that meet part of the term, please contact Chemeketa Veterans' Services.
