Yes, you may still certify the individual. Some schools extend the deadline date for VA-students until receipt of their first VA education check. Of course, VA benefits can be paid only if the student is certified by the school. If the student still does not pay by the extended deadline date, then the school should follow its policies and procedures for such situations. If it is the school s policy to terminate the student at that point, then the certifying official should notify the VA of the student s last date of attendance.
Schools are responsible for enforcing their established standards of progress.
Schools that allow academic probation may not continue to certify students indefinitely. When a student fails to maintain the school s standards, you must notify the VA promptly so that VA benefits can be terminated. You may recertify the student after the cause for unsatisfactory progress has been removed. The meeting will be held at the Adam s Mark Hotel in downtown Buffalo, NY, close to our historic waterfront. This is an opportunity to combine business and pleasure.
