All students receiving veteran benefits must achieve satisfactory progress toward educational goals by meeting the established standards of academic progress. Students should refer to the Standards of Academic Progress section. It is the student’s responsibility to be familiar with the standards of academic progress. Students who do not maintain satisfactory academic progress, will need to follow the the information provided in the Academic Standing section.

The VA will be notified to terminate benefits due to unsatisfactory progress for any student receiving veteran benefits whose overall GPA remains below a 2.0 beyond two semesters. The student may be recertified for veteran benefits upon attaining satisfactory academic progress (2.0 overall GPA) and being removed from academic probation. A student who is declared ineligible for veteran benefits because of unsatisfactory progress, and who wishes to be reinstated, must meet with the LSSC VA Certifying Official.
