Compliance with Title 38 Code of Federal Regulations
Marywood University ("the University") complies with the requirements of Title 38 of the Code of Federal Regulations section 3679(e) in the administration of educational benefits to covered individuals. A covered individual is any individual who is entitled to educational assistance under chapter 31, Vocational Rehabilitation and Employment, or chapter 33, Post-9/11 GI Bill benefits.
The University permits any covered individual to attend or participate in a course of education during the period beginning on the date on which the individual provides to the University a Certificate of Eligibility for entitlement to educational assistance under chapter 31 or 33 and ending on either:
- The date on which payment from the Department of Veterans' Affairs (VA) is made to the University.
- 90 days after the date the University certified tuition and fees following the receipt of the Certificate of Eligibility.
A Certificate of Eligibility can also include a "Statement of Benefits" obtained from the Department of Veterans Affairs' (VA) website via e-Benefits, or a VAF 28-1905 form for chapter 31 authorization purposes.
The University will not impose any penalty, including the assessment of late fees, the denial of access to classes, the Learning Commons (Library), or other institutional facilities, and will not require that a covered individual borrow additional funds to meet his or her financial obligations to the University due to the delayed disbursement of funding from the VA under chapter 31 or 33.
