Veterans enrollment certification is handled by the Office of the University Registrar, 336/334-5946. UNCG is on the list of approved institutions that can provide training under the Veterans Administration Educational Training Program.

A veteran wishing to receive educational benefits should apply first to the Veterans Administration for a Certificate of Eligibility. The student then applies for admission to UNCG through normal admissions procedures. The issuing of a Certificate of Eligibility by the VA does not automatically assure a student of admission to UNCG.

When enrolling at UNCG, the veteran should present a Certificate of Eligibility to the University Registrar requesting that certification of enrollment be sent to the VA. This Certification of Enrollment is necessary before educational benefits can be received. Certification of Enrollment must be requested each year and again for summer school. Contact UNCG's Veterans Services coordinator at ddcurtis@uncg.edu.

Students who serve in the Armed Services Reserve or the National Guard are often alerted that they may be called to active duty for various reasons. Click here for UNCG's Military Call-up Policy.
