The Office of the Registrar serves as a liaison between VA students at SAU and the Department of Veterans Affairs. The primary purpose is to assist VA students in the processing of the VA forms required for education benefits and to certify their enrollment to the Department of Veterans Affairs. Eligibility, payment questions, and address changes should be directed to 1-888-GI-BILL® (1-888-442-4551).

All VA students must submit an online VA Certification Request form before EVERY semester in which they want to use their VA benefits. To submit this form, students should log into their CampusConnect account and go to Student Dashboard -> Forms -> VA Certification Request. Students can also download a PDF certification form and email it to va@saumag.edu or bring it in person to the Registrar’s Office in Nelson 102 between 9am-4pm M-F.

First-time VA students must also submit a copy of their Certificate of Eligibility (or equivalent documentation) so their chapter and benefits can be verified. This may be submitted by email or in person at the locations mentioned above.

Please visit VA Student Responsibilities for more detailed information about SAU’s policies and procedures regarding VA benefits.
