Any of the following changes to your classes or credits must be reported to UAF Financial Aid office immediately or your benefit payments could be delayed up to 45 days and/or result in an overpayment:

Changes in credit load that affect your training time: example – going from 12.0 credits (full-time) to 9.0 credits (3/4 time) or your classes end or start differently than before.

Wait listed classes: Wait listed classes do not reflect in your credit load until you are officially enrolled in the class. You are responsible for getting instructor approval and enrolling in the class through the Registrar's Office. You must report to the Dept. of Veterans Affairs once enrolled.

Incomplete Grades: When a grade of Incomplete is assigned at the end of the semester you will have a maximum of one year to complete the "I" grade, unless the instructor has designated an earlier date. The UAF VA coordinator will report the "I" grade(s) to the VA immediately, and the VA Regional Office will track this record for the period noted. If after one year (or sooner if noted) you have not completed the incomplete grade, you will be required to pay back any money received from the VA for that course. If you finish the course early, please make sure you notify the UAF Financial Aid office, so that we can report the change, thereby eliminating the debt.

Called to Active Duty: If during the semester you are called to active duty, please notify the UAF Financial Aid office. Our office will need a copy of your orders to submit along with the change to the VA Regional Office.

Mitigating Circumstances: If you are required to drop/withdraw from a course during the semester for reasons beyond your control (i.e. financial, health, employer, childcare, etc.), you may not be required to pay the VA back the money you were paid for the course(s). Please notify they UAF Financial Aid office if mitigating circumstances apply to you or contact the VA Regional Office at (888) 442-4551.

Please note: UAF Financial Aid office does not accept responsibility for overpayments that could have been avoided had we been notified in a timely manner.
