Capitol Technology University is happy to serve our veterans and dependents of veterans. General Military and Veterans information can be found here: https://www.captechu.edu/admissions-and-financial-aid/military-and-veterans

Eligibility
Eligible applicants and their dependents may qualify for veterans' educational benefits that are available through the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. If you think you may be entitled to these benefits, contact the VA' s education information hotline at 888-442-4551 to determine your eligibility.
To use your benefits you must be admitted to the university in a program approved by the Department of Veterans Affairs and submit a copy of your Certificate of Eligibility from the VA.
Students receiving benefits under Chapter 31 Veteran Readiness & Employment (formerly known as Vocational Rehabilitation) will have their authorizations to receive Chapter 31 benefits submitted electronically via the VA's Tungsten Network partner by their VR&E counselor.
Veterans are certified on a per semester basis. Certifications do not automatically roll over from one semester to another. All continuing students must complete the VA Certification Request Form each semester or term that they wish to utilize their VA education benefits. In addition, any changes to a student’s schedule or status (including dropped, added or audited courses, changes in major or withdrawals) must be reported to a certifying official immediately as the university is required to notify the Department of Veterans Affairs within 30 days of any change in student status.
Veterans can find helpful information on the use of their VA education benefits at the GI Bill® Website or the VA's eBenefits portal including how to apply for VA Benefits and contact information for benefits counselors.
Adds, Drops and Withdrawals
Before making changes to your schedule please consult our VA School Certifying Official (VABenefits@CapTechU.edu) to make sure that these changes do not negatively impact your VA funding. Students planning to withdraw from a course or semester are strongly encouraged to consult the SCO before completing any withdrawal forms. The military.com website contains an excellent outline on the potential problems of withdrawing from courses mid-semester.
Questions on tuition discounts for active duty or retired servicemembers should be directed to BusinessOffice@CapTechU.edu
Readmission Policy for Students Called to Active Duty
Capitol Technology University acknowledges that students may be temporarily unable to attend classes or be required to suspend their studies to perform military service. Capitol Tech encourages such students to resume their education once a military service obligation has ended and adopts this policy to ensure the timely readmission of such students.
In accordance with federal regulations, 34 C.F.R. § 668.18 and the Department of Defense (DoD) Voluntary Education Partnership Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), the university will promptly readmit servicemembers who seek readmission to a program that was interrupted due to a uniformed service obligation.
Student Responsibility
The student must provide oral or written notice of a uniformed service obligation to the School Certifying Official (vabenefits@captechu.edu) as far in advance as possible, unless precluded by military necessity. Notice does not need to indicate when the student will return to the university.
A returning student must be charged the same tuition and fees in effect during the last academic year the student attended for the first year after readmission, unless veteran’s education benefits or other service member education benefits will pay the amount in excess. For subsequent academic years, the returning student may not be charged tuition and fees over what other students in the program are charged.
A returning student can reenroll in the next semester scheduled in the same academic program, unless they request a later date of reenrollment or agree to a different program.
A returning student will be readmitted into the same academic program (unless the program is no longer available) the student was enrolled in prior to the military service or the student requests admission to a different program. If the university determines that a returning student is not prepared to resume the program or is unable to complete the program, the university must make reasonable efforts to enable the student to resume or complete the program at no additional cost to the student. If such efforts are unsuccessful or place an undue hardship on the university, the university is not required to readmit the student.
In accordance with federal regulations, returning students who receive a dishonorable or bad conduct discharge from the Armed Forces (including the National Guard and Reserves) are not eligible for readmission under this policy. However, service members who receive dishonorable or bad conduct discharge may remain eligible for readmission even though they will not be entitled to the benefits outlined in this policy.
