Veterans frequently asked questions (FAQs)

Credit hours are reported first in order to receive the book stipend and housing/dining allowance.  

VA funding for housing/dining is distributed directly to the student, our office is not involved in distributing to the student. 

Tuition is reported by Belinda to the VA after the last day to drop classes at 100%.  Reporting tuition typically begins in September. 

Yes, the VA will pay the tuition according to your benefits and you can be reimbursed.  

The annual tuition & fees cap for academic year 2023-2024 is $27,120.05.  

Tulane doesn’t drop students from their classes because of unpaid balances.  Tulane will not allow students to register for a future semester if the balance isn’t paid by registration time. 

All students are required to pay housing and dining and should be paid immediately; it is not drawn from VA tuition funding. 

Yes, you will receive finance charges but if the full amount of the unpaid balance is the responsibility of the VA, those charges will be reversed when the payment is received. This may occur in late Sept/early Oct 

Students/parents receive a monthly reminder of outstanding tuition due; they can be assured that once VA funding comes through, the charge will be lifted. 

IF student/parent pays for tuition in full, to avoid messages re: outstanding bill, they can be refunded when VA funding comes through. 

It is not our practice to calculate tuition, we encourage students to access their account to determine what their out-of-pocket expense will be.
