Enrollment Certification

The Office for Military-Affiliated Communities certifies enrollment to the VA Office quarterly, approximately one week after the preliminary study list deadline. See the Stanford Academic Calendar for exact dates in each quarter.

After the final study list deadline, the Office for Military-Affiliated Communities will confirm that your enrollment has not changed in Axess. If enrollment has increased or decreased your enrollment certification will be adjusted.

General overpayments of VA benefits are the responsibility of the student. If the enrollment change has resulted in tuition overpayment, you will be responsible for paying the tuition and fees back to the VA. If you are a Ch. 33 recipient and the enrollment change has resulted in tuition overpayment, a refund check will be issued by Stanford to you. It remains your responsibility to provide tuition and fees back to the VA.

If the enrollment change has resulted in underpayment, the VA will send the difference in tuition fees to the student, excluding Ch. 33 recipients. If you are a Ch. 33 recipient, fees will be paid directly to the institution in a separate payment.
