USING TUITION ASSISTANCE WITH YOUR VA BENEFITS (TA-TOP UP):  Students who were previously using Chapter 30 with TA-Top Up no longer send their tuition assistance directly to the VA in Muskogee, Oklahoma.  Students who are using VA Chapter 30 or Chapter 33 and tuition assistance, please forward a copy of your military tuition assistance form and your “Request for Veteran Enrollment Certification” form to the ±´²©ÌåÓý Military/Veterans Center for certification.  The ±´²©ÌåÓý School Certifying Official will submit the enrollment to the VA.
