College gives first priority registration to all Veterans
o Schedule an appointment with the Snow College Veterans Coordinator Miriam
Thomas. You can do this by calling (435) 283-7065 or emailing
[email protected]
 At this meeting bring your DD-214 and/or NOBE
o The veterans coordinator will then do the rest of the work to certify you for your
GI Bill benefits
 Students can call 1-888-442-4551 to check on their benefit status.
 Once you have been found eligible from the VA, you will receive a
certificate of eligibility in the mail (usually within 30 to 45 days). You
MUST bring a copy of this letter into the Snow College veterans
coordinator.
 Verify Attendance
o EVERY MONTH while you are in school, you must verify with the VA that you
are still in fact taking courses to receive your next monthly deposit
o This step is NOT required for POST 9/11 (Chapter 33)
o You can do this two ways:
 Call 1877-823-2378
 Go online at http://gibill.va.gov/wave and verify attendance through the
Web Automated Verification of Enrollment (WAVE)
 Maintain at least a 2.0 or higher GPA
o To qualify for educational benefits, students must choose a course of study and
successfully complete classes required for graduation. Students must maintain a
2.00 or higher grade point average to remain eligible for VA benefits. Failure to
meet this requirement for two consecutive semesters may result in a termination
of benefits.
 Next Semester
o Do not resubmit the VONAPP unless you are changing schools or degree plans
 If you have changed either of these, use the form 22-1995 in VONAPP
o As soon as registration for the next term opens, register for classes early and bring
your class schedule to the Snow College veterans coordinator Miriam Thomas to
submit them to the VA
 IMPORANT! Every semester you MUST see the veterans coordinator to approve classes
and submit the VA for eligibility.
