Veterans Administration
Students receiving VA benefits should consult with the Registrar's
Office for information and assistance. VA benefits recipients have the same
rights and responsibilities as all other Cornell students and are
subject to the regulations and policies described in this
Catalogue except where the Federal Government has established laws or
guidelines that are at variance with Cornell's rules. In such cases, the
VA recipient is held accountable for satisfying both the College's and
the Government's regulations.
Specifically, the points of difference are: (1) VA recipients will not
be paid for a vacation term. (2) VA recipients will not be paid, or will
be billed for overpayment, for any course from which they withdraw,
i.e., receive a grade of W, WH, or WR, unless the VA approves their
appeal on grounds of mitigating circumstances. (3) VA recipients who
are placed on Probation by Cornell College will be given
two semesters (nine terms) to remove themselves from academic
review. If, at the end of this probationary period, the
recipient fails to demonstrate satisfactory progress, the recipient may
have her or his benefits discontinued. (4) VA recipients who elect to
undertake certain kinds of unstructured projects or internships that
have not been approved by the VA will not be paid for the month or
months in which they are engaged in such studies. The VA will not pay
for any course numbered in the 900s (off-campus programs). Permission may sometimes be granted
by the VA for a non-traditional educational experience upon petition in
advance of the start of the project.
