Tuition and Deferment Deadlines
Students should check this web site for current and upcoming deadlines. VA tuition deferments are not available for summer sessions. Applications for VA tuition deferments for any Fall or Spring term must be made no later than the tuition deadline for that term.

Applying for VA Benefits
Any students using their G.I. Bill benefits for the first time must complete a Veterans Clearance Form in addition to VA paperwork. The required VA forms are available from the Office of the University Registrar, the Veterans Affairs Services staff, the student's site director, or at www.gibill.va.gov (Education Forms).

All G.I. Bill recipients (including active duty, VocRehab, and certificate program students) must complete a Veterans Clearance Form each semester after enrolling in ODU classes, to continue receiving VA benefits.

The Veterans Affairs Services staff electronically transmits your enrollment information to the VA regional office in Buffalo, NY. To check on the status of your VA benefits, call (888) 442-4551 or (800) 827-1000.

Deployment or Mobilization of Currently Enrolled Students
All active duty military students who are unable to complete course requirements due to change in employment duties, work schedule, or deployment to a duty assignment may be administratively withdrawn from current semester courses. Students are required to furnish a copy of their military orders to the Office of the University Registrar. The Registrar's Office will maintain records of administrative withdrawals performed under this policy.

For complete information, please refer to Old Dominion University Policy #3101--Exceptions to Normal Policies and Procedures Due to Military Mobilizations, and consult the Veterans Affairs Services staff at (757) 683-4425 or e-mail vaservices@odu.edu.
