New Students

You must be admitted to and enrolled at UTEP to be certified for VA educational benefits. If you are an undergraduate student, you must submit official transcripts from each college or university you have attended or are currently attending to the Admissions Office. Graduate students must submit a copy of each transcript to the Veterans Affairs Office. Students are responsible for requesting transcripts and making sure they are received at the correct office. Transcripts are required by the VA even if you have never received benefits before since VA regulations stipulate that all prior training must be evaluated to receive educational benefits. You must be a degree-seeking student to be eligible for educational benefits.

The staff at UTEP’s  Veterans Affairs Office can help you complete the required forms and submit all documentation.
