Veterans, service members, and their survivors and
dependents may apply for their VA Educational Benefit Programs through the
Veterans’ Affairs Office. To initiate the VA Certification Process, Veteran
students must complete a VA Application form and submit it with their DD-214,
Verification of Enrollment, and Veteran Educational Plan to the Veterans’
Affairs Office. An advance payment of the benefits may be obtained, if eligible,
by submitting a request at least 30 days prior to the start of the enrollment
period to be certified.
Veteran students who had previously attended another post-secondary institution
must submit a transcript from the institution (civilian and military) for
evaluation by an academic counselor prior to certifying for a second enrollment
period. Los Angeles City College, as required by the Department of Veterans’
Affairs (DVA) policy, conducts an evaluation of all prior postsecondary
education, experience and training (civilian and military) before certifying for
a second enrollment period. As required, Los Angeles City College grants the
appropriate credit, shortening the training period proportionately, and notifies
both the DVA and the student of the amount of credit allowed towards their
declared program.
Unless otherwise notified, all programs (majors) in this catalog are approved
for VA benefits payment. Transfer programs are approved contingent upon Los
Angeles City College having current articulation agreements with the
universities offering the transfer programs. Contact the Transfer Center for
more information about approved transfer programs. To maintain eligibility,
Veteran students must maintain standards of academic progress as indicated in
the College Catalog
See “Satellite Locations” in this section of the catalog.
