2018年退伍军人福利和过渡法案合规

Under Title 38 US Code 3679 (e), with respect to any students using VA Education Chapter 33 (Post-9/11 GI Bill®) or Chapter 31 (Vocational Rehabilitation & Employment) benefits, 而退伍军人管理局还在等待向该机构付款, Rivier University will not:

• Prevent the student’s enrollment.
• Assess a late penalty fee to the student.
• 要求学生获得替代或额外的资助.
• 拒绝学生访问任何资源(访问课程), libraries, or other institutional facilities) available to other students who have satisfied their tuition and fee payments to the institution.

为了符合这一规定，学校可能会要求这些学生:

• Provide a written request to be certified.
• Provide any additional information needed to properly certify the enrollment as described in other Rivier’s policies.

However, Rivier University reserves the right to require additional payment or impose a late fee for the amount of tuition or fees due, which is the difference between the amount of the covered individual’s financial obligation and the amount of the VA education benefit disbursement.
