Saint Leo's Center for Online Learning's Veterans Education Benefits
If you are an Active Duty military member and wish to use your Veteran's Education
Benefit, prior to registration, you will need to complete the following:
- Completed application for admission to the University including the $35 admission
fee. Application forms are available at each of our offices.
- The application package will require transcript release from each college/university
you may have attended and documentation of military training and schools (DD-295,
AARTS, or CCAF)
- Documentation should be obtained from your military Education Service Office.
If you are an eligible Veteran, prior to registration you must:
- Have completed an application for admission to the University including the $35
admission fee. Application forms are available at each of our offices.
- The application package will require a transcript release from each college/university
you may have attended and a copy of your DD-214.
- Contact
Marlene Tillman
(352 588 7351) or
Ruth Turner
(352 588 7347).
- Be prepared to provide a certified copy of your DD-214.
It is the student's responsibility to see that transcripts and military paperwork
are received by Saint Leo University in a timely manner. VA allows you to register
for two terms while your paperwork is being received and processed. If it is not
received and processed by the third semester, your VA benefit is held until Saint
Leo University can evaluate transfer credit and military training/experience.
VA will not accept certification for courses that are not in your current degree
program. If you have used your Veteran's benefits at another college/university,
you must complete a Change of Program or Place of Training form.
