INFORMATION FOR STUDENT VETERANS

Please call (405) 466-3225 or email luregistrar@langston.edu for assistance.
GI Bill® is a registered trademark of the U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs (VA). More information about education benefits offered by VA is available at the official U.S. government Web site at www.benefits.va.gov/gibill.

Certification Requirements for All Education Chapters

To receive education benefits, you must be “certified,” to be eligible for the benefits by a veteran’s benefits certification specialist in the Registrar’s office. The certification process can take up to a month or more, so it is best to begin this process early.

Initial Certification

Your first step is to submit your initial application for benefits electronically to the Veterans Administration. Initial application procedures can be found at www.gibill.va.gov. Once the application has been submitted, you will receive a “Certificate of Eligibility” from the Veteran’s Administration (normally within approximately two to four weeks of submitting your initial application online). Email a copy of your Certificate of Eligibility to luregistrar@langston.edu for further processing. Prior training credit must be collected and reviewed for all students using VA education benefits. If you have specific questions regarding the type of education program you are eligible for or application procedures, please contact the US Department of Veterans Affairs at 1-888-442-4551, or go the USDVA website at www.gibill.va.gov.

Continued Benefit Certification

For continued receipt of VA education benefits throughout your academic career, you will be required to complete a Veterans Advisory Form each semester. The Veterans Advisory Form is available on the Forms page of the Registrar’s website.
Chapter 30, 1606 recipients: Once you are certified for your benefits, you must verify your enrollment with the VA at the end of each calendar month before you will receive your payment for that month. To verify enrollment, go to the Web Automated Verification of Enrollment (WAVE) or call 1-877-823-2378.
Credit Hour Requirements (applies to Chapters 30, 31, 35, and 1606) Education benefits are based on student enrollment status (e.g. full-time, half-time, etc.) To receive the maximum benefit, you must be enrolled as a full-time student. Part-time benefit rates are reduced proportionately. See the GI Bill Education Benefit Payment Rates website for current rates.

Undergraduate Students

Graduate Students

Students enrolled less than half-time qualify to receive a lump sum payment. Students enrolled quarter-time or less are eligible for a reimbursement of tuition and fees (not including books and supplies) not to exceed ¼ of the full-time rate. Monthly checks are based on the prorated monthly rate of payment and training time pursued.

Class Attendance

Dropping/withdrawing from classes and changes in original enrollment schedules can also affect payments received for education benefits. Before making any schedule changes, it is important to first consult the Veterans Benefits Services office to avoid/lessen the potential financial impact.
If challenges arise in classes that could impact final grades received, contact the Veterans Benefit Services office regarding possible tutoring options and other available resources.

Non-Standard Enrollment Periods

Courses offered for a term shorter than 16 weeks during the Fall or Spring semesters, or shorter than 8 weeks during the summer term are nonstandard enrollment and have special rules. Students enrolled in short courses will be certified for the actual dates of attendance within the regular academic term. The VA pays education benefits for nonstandard enrollment periods based on credit equivalents. Contact the Veterans Benefit Services office to determine the expected payment amount for courses offered during a nonstandard enrollment period.

Non-Degree Status

You may be able to receive education benefits for up to two semesters as a degree-seeking student who has not yet declared an academic major. At the conclusion of that second term, you will be required to officially declare a degree/major with the university. Failure to declare a degree/major prohibits future enrollment certifications to the VA. Contact the Veterans Benefits Services office for additional information and specific procedures required.

Advance Payment

Langston University does not participate in advance payment of VA education benefit entitlement.

Benefit Programs

Eligibility criteria and benefits vary for veterans’ education benefit programs from the U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs (VA). Monthly stipends, eligibility periods, and documentation required are described in the links below:

• Montgomery GI Bill Active Duty (Chapter 30)
• Montgomery GI Bill Selected Reserve (Chapter 1606)
• REAP (Reserve Educational Assistance Program – Chapter 1607)
• VEAP (Veterans Educational Assistance Program – Chapter 32)

Post-9/11 GI Bill

If you have at least 90 days of aggregate active-duty service after Sept. 10, 2001, and are still on active duty, or if you are an honorably discharged Veteran or were discharged with a service-connected disability after 30 days, you may be eligible for this VA-administered program. Purple Heart recipients, regardless of length of service, are qualified for Post-9/11 benefits at the 100% level. Certain members of the Reserves who lost education benefits when REAP was sunset in November 2015, may also be eligible to receive restored benefits under the Post-9/11 GI Bill.

Benefits and Eligibility

For approved programs, the Post-9/11 GI Bill provides up to 36 months of education benefits.
If your release from active duty was before January 1, 2013, there is a 15-year time limitation for use of benefits. For individuals whose last discharge date is on or after January 1, 2013, the time limitation has been removed.

Tuition and Fees details

If you are eligible, VA will pay your tuition and fees benefit directly to the school. This payment is not to exceed the highest undergraduate tuition and fees rates at a state operated college or university (Institution of Higher Learning). This payment rate is based on the state in which the school is located – not your state of residence.

Other benefits for Post-9/11 GI Bill

In addition to the tuition and fee benefits for the Post-9/11 GI Bill, eligible veterans and their dependents may qualify for the following additional benefits:

• Monthly Housing Allowance (Basic Allowance for Housing) As an eligible veteran or member of the National Guard or Selected Reserve you may receive a monthly housing allowance (living stipend) based on the ZIP code of the location of the school you are attending – not your home ZIP code. This stipend is based on the Department of Defense’s Basic Allowance for Housing rates. This stipend does not require students to live on campus. NOTE: Service members currently on active duty and veterans (and eligible family members) taking courses on a half-time or less basis and/or taking 100% of their classes at a distance (online etc.) do not qualify for the monthly basic allowance for housing.
• Annual Book Stipend You may receive an annual book stipend of up to $1,000 per academic year. This stipend will be paid at the beginning of each term. It is paid proportionately based on the number of credits taken by each student at a rate of $41.67 per credit hour.

Yellow Ribbon Program

The Yellow Ribbon Program is a provision of the new GI Bill that allows institutions to voluntarily enter into an agreement with the VA to fund tuition and fee expenses that exceed the in-state undergraduate tuition rates. The institution can contribute up to 50% of those expenses and the VA will match the same amount as the institution.
Students must apply for the Yellow Ribbon Program and must meet the following criteria to qualify to be eligible for Yellow Ribbon Program benefits:

• Undergraduate/Graduate/Doctor of Veterinary Medicine student;
• Classified by the university as a non-Oklahoma resident
• At least one of the following must be true:
• Served at least 36 months on active duty (either all at once or with breaks in service), or
• Received a Purple Heart on or after September 11, 2001, and were honorably discharged after any amount of service, or

Learn more about the Fry Scholarship

Note: At this time, you’re not eligible for the maximum benefit rate under the Post-9/11 GI Bill if you’re an active-duty service member or the spouse of an active-duty service member. But, as of August 1, 2022, you may become eligible if you’re an active-duty service member who qualifies at the 100% level, or the spouse using the transferred benefits of an active-duty service member who qualifies at the 100% level.
Students must complete the Application for Yellow Ribbon Program form and submit to luregistrar@langston.edu.
YR participants are required to maintain continuous enrollment in each regular fall and spring semester and must remain in good academic standing each semester to remain eligible for Yellow Ribbon Program benefits. Any changes to the class schedule may result in overpayment of VA benefits and the student will be responsible for any overpayment of VA benefits that may occur. Students in an overpayment status who do not make reimbursements in a timely manner may be at risk of losing their Yellow Ribbon Program benefits. Langston University will determine on an annual basis whether to continue participation in the Yellow Ribbon Program. Once accepted into the program, there is no need to re-apply.

Monthly Housing Allowance (Basic Allowance for Housing)

As an eligible veteran or member of the National Guard or Selected Reserve you may receive a monthly housing allowance (living stipend) based on the ZIP code of the location of the school you are attending. This stipend is based on the Department of Defense’s Basic Allowance for Housing rates. This stipend does not require students to live on campus.
NOTE: Service members currently on active duty and veterans (and eligible family members) taking courses on a half-time or less basis and/or taking 100% of their classes at a distance (online etc.) do not qualify for the monthly basic allowance for housing.

Annual Book Stipend

You may receive an annual book stipend of up to $1,000 per academic year. This stipend will be paid at the beginning of each term. It is paid proportionately based on the number of credits taken by each student at a rate of $41.67 per credit hour.

Benefit Transferability

The Department of Defense (DoD) is authorized to allow individuals who, on or after August 1, 2009, have served at least 6 years in the Armed Forces and who agree to serve at least another 4 years in the Armed Forces to transfer unused entitlement to their Spouse. Once the member has reached their 10-year anniversary they may choose to transfer the benefit to any dependent(s) (ex: spouse, children). The Department of Defense may, by regulation, impose additional eligibility requirements and limit the number of months transferable to not less than 18 months.
NOTE: DoD must develop regulations and provide VA with eligibility information before the VA can make payments under this provision. The ability to transfer benefits is limited to those currently serving in the military with some limited provisions for those retiring over the next few years.

Military Tuition Assistance and/or Tuition Waivers Programs

Tuition Assistance and/or Tuition waiver programs may be offered through the various branches of the military. For information on these programs, students should contact the Education Officer of their unit. The Registrar’s Office does not process any paperwork relating to tuition assistance.

Military Leave/Call Up

Active Military Duty
Per Oklahoma law, Langston University offers a military leave of absence (MLOA) to students who are members of the active uniformed military services of the United States who are called to active duty.
An MLOA allows a student to be absent from the University for active duty without penalty to admission status or grade point average and without loss of institutional financial aid. It also allows the student to be eligible for withdrawal from all or some classes with a full refund of tuition and fees or to be eligible for incomplete grades in classes for which he/she has successfully completed at least 50% of the coursework at the time of leave, if the student intends to complete the classes upon return from active duty. MLOAs shall not exceed a cumulative five years. Graduate student LOAs are for a period of one year with annual extensions possible up to the five-year cumulative limit. Students apply for MLOA by submitting the appropriate form and supporting documentation.
If time allows, contact the Registrar’s Office at (405) 466-3225 or luregistrar@langston.edu to inform them of your pending activation. Notification will be made to the Veterans Administration and education benefits will be placed in a pending status. You will not be required to repay benefits previously received for the term in which you are activated.
Short-Term Military Leave
If you will miss classes for short-term military leave or military training exercises, (example: Annual training for National Guard and Reserve members) please contact your instructors as soon as you become aware of this so that any appropriate accommodations can be made between you and the instructor.

Student Reminders

“I” Grades If you receive a letter grade of “I”, you will have one year from the date received to get it changed to a letter grade for credit. If the “I” grade is not changed to a letter grade in this time frame, the V.A. will consider this as an overpayment. Major I will declare and / or seek a major while at Langston University. The V.A. will certify only the classes that apply to this major and / or minor that I formally declare for payment. Anytime you change your major you must report it to the Langston University V.A. Coordinator as soon as possible. If you do not, this can delay your benefits.
Parent School Letter If you are enrolled at another learning institution, the V.A. Coordinator needs a copy of the classes you are enrolled in so that a parent letter can be mailed to them. A Dual Enrollment Form must be completed with the proper signatures before Parent letter will be processed.
Plan of Study After two semesters of enrollment, V.A. Coordinator must receive a plan of study by your advisor. If no plan of study is provided to V.A. Coordinator, you risk not becoming certified by V.A.
Transcripts All college transcripts from previous attended schools must be turned in to Registrar’s Office. Make a copy for your advisor to ensure that applicable credits are applied to your departmental plan of study.

Payments

Students receiving benefits under Chapters 31 (Vocational Rehabilitation benefits) and Chapter 33 (Post 9/11 -awarded percentages from VA for tuition/fees only) will not be penalized due to delayed payment by the VA (i.e., restriction of enrollment, late fees, requirement of alternative/additional funding or denial of access to school resources available to other students).
Any change in enrollment status may adversely affect payments received by the VA, and students will be held liable for the overpayment of the VA issues on their behalf.

Credit for Prior Learning at Langston University

Course Transfer

Course equivalencies are tables of courses that are transferable among Oklahoma public colleges and institutions (as well as some private institutions). Each table displays equivalent courses at each college and university and is organized by academic disciplines, such as biology or history.

Credit From an Accredited Senior College

Credit will be given for work done in residence in an institution in Oklahoma recognized by the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education as an accredited college or university. For residence work done in a college or university elsewhere, the credit will be given on the basis of the recommendations contained in the current issue of the Higher Education Directory.

Transfer of Resident Credit From a Junior College

Credit will be given for work done in residence in a junior college in Oklahoma recognized by the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education in the State Articulation Agreement. For residence work done in a junior college elsewhere, a credit will be given on the basis of the recommendations contained in the current issue of the Higher Education Directory. A maximum of sixty-four (64) credits will be accepted from a junior college; a minimum of sixty (60) credits must be earned at a senior college.

What if the course I took is lower-division and the course that is listed as equivalent is upper-division?

Lower-division coursework cannot substitute for upper-division credit-hour requirements. However, the content is transferable. For example, if a student completes Smart Course 2000 at two-year college A, it will transfer in content to four-year college B for its Smart Course 3000. The student will not need to repeat the content or learning competencies acquired in Smart Course 2000. But, the student must still complete the full amount of 3000- and 4000-level semester hours that college B requires for a baccalaureate degree.

Concurrent Enrollment at Another College

Students may enroll in another institution with the approval of the School Dean, their advisor, the Registrar’s Office, and the Vice President for Academic Affairs. Failure to receive approval from these four may be cause for dismissal of credit.

Types of Credit

Correspondence study credits earned at another institution may or may not be applied toward a degree at Langston University. Credits earned through correspondence study and extension credits cannot exceed one-fourth (1/4) of the credits required for a bachelor’s degree. Langston University does not offer correspondence courses.

Extension Credit

Extension Credit earned through a fully accredited institution, not to exceed eight (8) semester hours, is accepted on approval by the chairperson of the department involved. Credit earned through extension and correspondence cannot exceed one-fourth (1/4) of the credits required for a bachelor’s degree.

Advanced Placement and Advanced Standing

Advanced Placement and Advanced Standing are tests given by various departments for some courses in General Education in which a student may score high enough to pass the course by examination. These examinations are given primarily to freshmen and sophomores and may be taken only during the first two weeks of the fall or spring semester. Application forms for the examination may be secured from the Office of Academic Affairs. There is a fee associated with the test. A maximum of thirty (30) hours of credit by Advanced Placement or Advanced Standing may be counted toward a degree.

Advanced Placement Tests From High School

Advanced Placement Credit can be awarded to high school graduates who have scored a minimum of 3 on the Advanced Placement Tests administered by the College Entrance Examination Board. Students must submit their official Score Report from the College Entrance Examination Board to the Registrar’s Office.

Extrainstitutional Learning

Extrainstitutional Learning is learning that is acquired from work and life experiences, independent reading, and study, the mass media, and participation in formal courses sponsored by associations, business, government, industry, and the military. After careful evaluation in some instances, an Advanced Placement test will be given.

CLEP examination

Certain CLEP general examinations are accepted by Langston University as a means of earning credit for general education requirements. Earning credit in general education by means of the CLEP examination does not automatically satisfy requirements in major fields. The use of CLEP examinations for this purpose is determined by the individual department or division. Students are encouraged to consult with department heads or school deans on the use of these examinations.

Credit for Military Service

Students who have previously served in the Armed Forces will be allowed eight (8) semester credits by submitting a DD-214 form or its equivalent to the Registrar’s Office. Students who have completed formal service school training may request an evaluation for credit. “The Guide to the Evaluation of Education Experiences in the Armed Services” will be used to determine credit to be awarded. Students must submit DD-295.

Articulation Policy

Langston University cooperates fully with the requirements of the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education Articulation Policy for the transfer of students among institutions in the Oklahoma State System of Higher Education. A student who has been awarded the Associate of Arts Degree or Associate of Science Degree from an approved Oklahoma State Accredited College or Junior College will have completed general education requirements so long as the degree includes the minimum course requirements outlined in the Articulation Policy and so long as no requirement is lacking which is mandated by the Oklahoma State Regents for a bachelor’s degree. Students majoring in a Teacher Education Program must meet all Admission to Teacher Education requirements. Students with the Associate of Arts Degree or Associate of Science Degree from a properly accredited out-of-state college or junior college will be given the benefit of the Oklahoma Articulation Policy only if the degree contains the minimum requirements of the policy.

IN-STATE STATUS

Attendance at an educational institution, albeit a continuous and long term experience, is interpreted as temporary residence; therefore, a student neither gains nor loses resident status solely by such attendance. Students attending an Oklahoma college or university may perform many objective acts, some of which are required by law (i.e., payment of taxes), and all of which are customarily done by some non-residents who do not intend to remain in Oklahoma after graduation but are necessary and/or convenient (i.e. registering to vote, obtaining an Oklahoma driver’s license, etc). A non-resident student attending an Oklahoma college or university on more than a half-time basis is presumed to be in the state primarily for educational purposes. An individual is not deemed to have acquired status as a resident of Oklahoma until he or she has been in the state for at least a year primarily as a permanent resident and not merely as a student. Likewise an individual classified as a resident of Oklahoma shall not be reclassified as a nonresident until 12 months after having left Oklahoma to live in another state.

No. Your Degree Works audit does not replace an official or unofficial transcript.

How is a degree worksheet different from my transcript?

Your official transcript is a reflection of all courses taken over your academic career and must be requested from the Registrar’s Office. Your degree worksheet is a reflection of the course requirements for your degree, courses in progress, courses still needed, and courses you plan to complete.

How current is my information in Degree Works?

Degree Works is refreshed nightly. Any changes to your degree audit will be updated and available the following day.

What is a Catalog Year?

The catalog year determines the requirements for a student’s degree.

How do I change my “Catalog Year”?

Students may update the catalog year by completing the Change of Major Form.

How do I use Degree Works?

After logging into Degree Works, you will see your academic information including your major/concentration/minor in various blocks. These different blocks are useful tools to monitor your degree completion. If at any time you have questions concerning your degree audit, contact your advisor.

What do the highlighted green, blue and red areas of my audit mean?

Requirements highlighted in green with a checkmark indicate the course requirement is complete. Courses highlighted in blue are those currently in progress. Your audit will assume successful completion of these courses and reflect these credit hours in credit totals. However, if these courses are not successfully completed they will be removed once the semester has ended. Courses highlighted in red indicate the requirement is not fulfilled. Please note that changing your major will require a new audit. Courses once listed as complete (green) may not meet requirements for another program.

How do I determine what courses I will need to take?

Courses that are still needed are highlighted red. Courses highlighted in red are incomplete. You may click on the blue hyperlink(s) to learn more about the required course. Always visit with your advisor prior to registering for classes to ensure degree applicability and confirm prerequisites have been satisfied.

What is the Fallthrough section?

The Fallthrough section includes all courses not currently used to fulfill specific degree requirements. These courses will factor into your overall GPA and total credit hours earned.

What is the Insufficient section?

The insufficient section includes courses with grades that fall below the minimum grade requirements for the currently listed degree requirements.

Why is a course that I believe should be counting toward my degree found in fallthrough? Does this mean it does not count?

There are several reasons a course may be found in the fallthrough section. First, it is important to make sure your currently declared degree program is accurate. If the wrong program or catalog year is listed, please consult your academic advisor as this will not accurately reflect your completed coursework. Transfer coursework and course substitutions must be evaluated and may take longer to reflect accurately within your audit. Always consult your academic advisor with questions concerning completed coursework and degree applicability.

If a checkmark next to a requirement means it is complete and all requirements are checked, does this mean I am graduating?

No, this is not necessarily an indication of graduation. First, you should meet with your academic advisor to confirm all requirements have been met. A graduation application must also be submitted via the Self Service portal within the specified university deadlines.

How can I view how my credits will apply to another degree program?

The “what-if” feature in Degree Works will allow you to select another degree program to view how your credits may apply. Please note, this is not an official audit. Only an academic advisor can assist with determining how your coursework may apply to a certain degree program.

Please note, this is not an official transcript and may not reflect the LU repeat policy or other aspects of your official transcript.

What happens if Degree Works has listed one of my courses in two different areas of my audit?

In many instances, this is okay. Degree Works recognizes that a course may fulfill more than one requirement within a degree program. Always bring this to the attention of your advisor to confirm your audit. Please note that while a course may meet more than one degree requirement, it will only be reflected one time in your earned/total credit hours.

How do I use the “Look Ahead” tool?

The “Look Ahead” feature allows you to enter a course to view where it might fit within your audit. Enter the course subject/number and then click “Add Course.” You can repeat this process as many times as you’d like, even building out your entire planned schedule.

I’m getting a message that says “Audit Not Available.” What’s going on?

When you see “Audit Not Available” this means a degree audit has not been scribed for that major. As of fall 2017, all active undergraduate degree plans have been developed, but graduate and professional are not yet available in Degree Works.
