VA Benefits

Veterans and eligible dependents can use educational benefits at CCA. The veteran certifying official will complete the certification once a Certification Request is completed in MyCCA and any other required documentation is submitted each semester. All questions and forms should be submitted to Military & Veteran Services, CentreTech Campus, 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. 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.

Under Title 38, Code of Federal Regulations, Sections 21.4253(d)(3) and 21.4254(C)(4), VA requires that CCA evaluate your prior college credit and military training. The evaluation of previous postsecondary education and training is mandatory and required for VA beneficiaries. For students utilizing Veterans benefits who are approved for transfer credit as a result of this evaluation, the institution will grant appropriate credit, reduce the program length proportionately, notify the student and Veterans Affairs in writing of this decision, and adjust invoicing of the VA accordingly.
