VA snrPLrFIEs PROCEDURES
FOR CHANGING COURSES

Veterans seeking to change
courses of study or undertake ad-
ditional training under the c. l.
Bill are reminded by the Veterans
Administration that new simpli-
fled procedures designed to speed
up services are now in effect.
Requirements that all veterans
desiring to change their general
field of study or enter additional
courses undergo Amusement and
guidance have been liberalized. The
VAS registration officers have
been extended the authority to give
immediate approval to applica-
tions where the justification is
clearly adequate.
The speed-up procedure only ap-
phys to veterans whose justifica-
tions clearly show they are en-
titled to the training applied for.
Where the justification does not
show need and aptitude for the
course requested veterans will con-
tinue to receive advisemtnt and
guidance as in the past
The new procedures in no way
affect veterans who because of dis
abilities suffered in service are
entitled to vocational rehabilita-
ton under Public Law Is. They will
continue to have first priority for
counseling.

vided the excitement. The Younger
