Important Information
All current students (on campus and online) must submit a Benefits Authorization Form for every semester in order for students to register for class. An email will be sent to the student population via veterans@csuniv.edu when registration time occurs. That email will contain a PDF copy of the BAF-Returning Students to be returned to the Office of Veteran Services.
Office of Veteran Services will only accept forms that have been completed fully, have been scanned and emailed (no photos of forms) to veterans@csuniv.edu or turned into the office in person at 218 Student Center, CSU.
Incomplete forms or photos deemed unacceptable to Veteran Services will not be accepted.
Classes will be checked by Veteran Services to ensure they count towards your major. Any classes that are not required for a student’s major will not be reported to the VA, which could potentially impact VA payments.
**If the Office of Veteran Services does not receive your Benefits Authorization Form in a timely matter, this could delay your payments.**
