Denver Seminary

41 Unlike other financial aid, work study awards are not offered through an award letter, but rather students apply for a work study position in similar fashion to other on-campus jobs. Those who are hired will see work study funds disbursed to them through a monthly paycheck. Application steps include completing a FAFSA and applying for an open position (located on the employment page at http: www.denverseminary.edu/about/employment/). Available off-campus positions are advertised on the Seminary's job board at http://www.denverseminary.edu/resources/job-board/. Veterans Benefits Denver Seminary works with the Department of Veterans Affairs to ensure that eligible recipients of veterans educational benefits obtain the assistance available, including, but not limited to, the following programs: Post-9/11 GI Bill, Montgomery GI Bill, Vocational Rehabilitation, and Tuition Assistance. Students must have completed all necessary paperwork through the VA prior to requesting that Denver Seminary certify their GI Bill benefits. This includes submission of the DD-214. VA Form 22-5490 or 22-1995 may serve as the initial application for benefits and should be done through the e-benefits site at https://www.ebenefits.va.gov/ebenefits/homepage. Students must submit two additional documents to the financial aid office prior to any enrollment certification: a copy of their Certificate of Eligibility (showing the program the student is eligible for as well as the percentage of and remaining eligibility) and a completed Post-911 GI Bill payment contract. The payment contract form can be obtained from the revelant campus' school certifying official. Copies of everything that is submitted by a student or sent to the VA Office will be kept in the student file. Certification Students may only receive benefits for classes which are taken at an approved site. Students may also take classes as a guest student at other schools, but it is the responsibility of each site to get approval from the applicable state's State Approving Agency. Guest students must also coordinate with the certifying officials at both schools to ensure the classes they are taking are eligible for certification through their educational benefits. Certification of veterans' enrollments will be done each semester unless the student specifically requests that he or she not be certified. VA certifications are done online using VA Once, which is the online equivalent of VA Form 22-1999. The staff person submitting certifications or signing any forms for the Seminary must be authorized by the VA as a school certifying official. To make a change to a certifying official, the Seminary must submit a form 22-8794. Only classes that apply directly to completion of a student's degree program are eligible for coverage through the GI Bill. Each semester, certifications for each student's enrollment will be submitted through VA Once no later than two weeks prior to the start of the term. For Post 9/11 GI Bill (Chapter 33) recipients, the initial certification will be submitted with term dates and the number of credits only. Tuition and fee amounts will not be submitted until the semester add/drop deadline to help minimize the occurrence of overpayments due to class drops. For all other GI Bill chapters, tuition and fees will be submitted at the time of the initial certification. All changes to a student's schedule mid-semester will be submitted to the VA within 30 days of the change. The specific policies and procedures for handling each student's certification including determination of eligibility, handling of withdrawals, failed classes, repeated and dropped classes, change of program, course applicability, enrollment status, rate of pursuit, exceptions to the above policies, and all other case
