Veterans Affairs

The following is a variety of information useful to graduate students at Cameron University.

• Undergraduate courses will be paid at a different rate than graduate level courses. Nine hours of graduate level courses in a 16 week term is full-time. Four semester hours of graduate level credit is full-time in an eight week term. Three hours of graduate level with 4 consecutively meeting weekend dates (with no breaks between weekend meeting dates) is full-time. **If you do not take the 4 week courses consecutively, depending on the semester and dates involved, you will probably not receive break pay. Contact the CU-VA to check on your rate of pursuit for VA pay purposes if you are unsure of your status.

• Graduate students must provide the CU-VA with a copy of your approved formal plan of study.

• Graduate Assistantship does not count towards full-time status for VA purposes.

• Mixtures of courses with different lengths requires special attention and advisement.

• VA will pay to pick up Licensed Practical Counselor requirements. This is a change from past policy. VA does pay for any courses that are required to complete your Master's degree.
