Benefits Request Overview
90 Day Tuition Deferment
The Summer 2023 (for Summer A, B, and C) Veteran Tuition Deferment ends on Friday, 28 July 2023
Due to the fact that VA education benefits can take 60 days or longer before payments are issued, OVS applies a 90 day tuition deferment to the account of every student that completes their VA Works application PRIOR TO 4:55 p.m. on the FIRST FRIDAY of each semester.
The 90 day tuition deferment ensures that while payments are pending from the VA, the student will not be:
- Issued a late payment fee
- Dropped from classes due to non-payment in those 90 days
Who is eligible?
All students (veterans and dependents) who complete steps 1-5 of their VA Works application PRIOR TO 4:55 p.m. on the FIRST FRIDAY of every semester.
When is the 90 day tuition deferment deadline?
4:55 p.m. on the FIRST FRIDAY of each semester. If a student submits their VA Works application AFTER this deadline, they are NOT eligible for a tuition deferment and could be dropped from their classes and receive late payment fees. Students will be responsible for paying these fees prior to being able to be added back into their classes.
What if a student submitted their VA Works application prior to the deadline, but recieved late payment fees and was dropped from their classes?
