The mission of the Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi Veterans Affairs Office is to
assist service members, veterans, and dependents in receiving entitled educational benefits and in achieving educational goals.

ENROLLMENT CERTIFICATION
The Veterans Affairs Office assists students with enrollment certifications for veterans’
educational benefits, entitled by the Department of Veterans Affairs. Information is
available in the Veterans Affairs Office (located in the Student Services Center) on
eligibility requirements, applications and forms, and updates on benefits for:
• Chapter 30 Montgomery GI Bill – Active Duty Educational Assistance Program
• Chapter 1606 Montgomery GI Bill Selected Reserve
• Chapter 1607 Activated Reservist
• Chapter 31 Vocational Rehabilitation and Employment Program
• Chapter 32 Post-Vietnam Era Veterans’ Educational Assistance Program (VEAP)

Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi does not participate in the VA Advance Payment
Program. A Veterans Intent to Enroll Form must be submitted for each term that the
student requests an enrollment certification for benefits.

HAZLEWOOD EXEMPTION

Education Code Chapter 54.203, the Hazlewood Act, for exemption of tuition and fees,
with the exception of the student services fee, for up to 150 cumulative credit hours, at state supported colleges and universities. Hazlewood Act eligibility is determined once a
student completes the Hazlewood Application, provides a copy of discharge papers
(VA Form DD-214 member 4 copy), and a letter from the VA Regional Processing
Office in Muskogee, Oklahoma stating that federal benefits have been exhausted.
