Enrollment Certification Form

Every Semester AFTER you register for courses. Students also need to re-submit for the semester if their schedule changes such as adding, dropping, or cancellation of courses. This is to ensure students do not accumulate debt with the VA or lose Hazlewood hours.

A Certificate of Eligibility is a letter you will receive via postal mail 4 to 6 weeks after you apply for the federal benefit. You can submit the application confirmation in lieu of the COE until it arrives if it is your first time applying for a benefit. Once your COE arrives, please send a scanned copy to NLC-VA@alamo.edu

You will need to attach all supporting documentation to the Enrollment Certification Form using the paperclip icon on the second page of the VA Enrollment Request form.

Please call 1-888-442-4551 for information about payment and deposit accounts. NLC VA does not process payments in office.

The claim number for Chapter 35 is the veteran’s 9-digit social security number and is to be stated in the second form of the VA Enrollment Request Form.
