Schedule Changes

If you adjust your schedule after you apply for a semester’s VA benefits, you must submit an AACC VA Change of Schedule Form to the Student Financial Services Office to notify us of your changes.  You must still process all schedule changes through the AACC Records Office.

Applying for Benefits*

Step 1 - Renew Your Benefits or Apply for New Benefits with AACC

To apply for new benefits or to renew your benefits for each semester, ALL applicants must:

• Complete the AACC VA Certification Form and submit it to our office.

If you are Veteran and have never used your benefits before, you must:

• complete an initial application on-line thru VONAPP, or complete a Paper Application (VA 22-1990) and submit it to our office. VONAPP is much faster!
• AND submit a copy of your DD-214 to our office.  It does not need to be certified or notarized, but it must include your type of separation.

If you are a Survivor or Dependent, and you have never used your benefits before, you must:

• Complete a Paper Survivor's and Dependent's Application (VA 22-5490) and submit it to our office.

If you have used your VA Education Benefits before at a different school or you need to change the degree or certificate goal you listed with the VA, you must complete a Request for Change of Program or Place of Training form.

• Veterans must complete a VA 22-1995 and submit it to our office.
• Survivor's and Dependent's must complete a VA 22-5495 and submit it to our office.

*VA Vocational Rehabilitation Students (Chapter 31) must apply thru their local Veterans Affairs Office.
