Show Student Affairs VETERANS AFFAIRS It is necessary that all veterans or veterans' dependents who attend Weber State College under Title 38, Chapter 31, 32, 34, or 35, U.S. Code, contact the Office of Veterans' Affairs on campus for the purpose of receiving assistance in obtaining educational benefits under the GI Bill. Veterans must also contact the Office of Veterans' Affairs immediately on any changes that occur in their class schedules each quarter. If this office is not aware of a drop in credit hours when the change occurs, it will result in an overpayment of benefits which must be paid back to VA. The Office of Veterans' Affairs has been established to coordinate with the various campus departments that can assist the veterans and their dependents in receiving a meaningful educational experience. Coordination and assistance will be provided in registration, counseling, testing, financial aids, and placement. Close cooperation exists with the various academic and vocational-technical departments and with those student service areas that will help accomplish the desired goal of the veteran. The Office of Veterans' Affairs personnel will assist veterans in all educational aspects with respect to the transition from military to the college community environment. The office will also provide information on orientation, study skills, academic improvement and tutorial assistance where needed.
