Please note

Unless your program is already on the approved list of programs listed , we will need to apply for program approval from the VA office.Ìý However,Ìýcourse approval requests may take some time to be processed and without program approval, you will not be able to use your benefits at Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê.ÌýÌý

Students on a course which isÌýoffered as 'distance learning', for example, where your enrolment status is 'non-resident', or where your study mode is 'Distance Learning' /Ìý'MIxed Mode'Ìýwill not be eligible to receive federal loans or US Veterans benefits.Ìý

The lending terms for federal loans may be preferable to private loans. See the for a guide.

Our role in the private loan process is to confirm your Cost of Attendance and certify your enrolment.
