VA Benefits

Veterans and eligible dependents can use educational benefits at CCA. The veteran certifying official will complete the certification once a Request for Certification is submitted each semester. All questions and forms should be submitted to Military & Veteran Services, CentreTech Campus, Administration Building, 303-360-4768. Additional information is available online at www.CCAurora.edu/students/military-veterans.

Students receiving education benefits through the Department of Veterans Affairs are only approved for courses toward their declared program at CCA and these are the only courses that the college can certify to the Department of Veterans Affairs. Students must declare a program objective with Admissions, Registration, & Records before the third semester at CCA. Students using VA benefits must submit official transcripts of all previous post-secondary education and training and military transcripts prior to their third semester to continue to have enrollment reported to the VA. The VA will not pay for duplicated coursework that meets CCA program requirements, whether the coursework was earned through CCA, another college or university, or military training. CCA is required to report all non-punitive grades to VA. Students are responsible for ensuring that satisfactory arrangements have been made for payment of tuition to the college.

Military Deployment Procedures

Military personnel, and emergency management officials who are deployed on Temporary Duty (TDY) during a term should contact their instructor for special consideration. Documentation of official activation/deployment and TDY assignment is required, and any special considerations must be approved by the Vice President of Academic Affairs.
